Presented by the Coaches Association of Ontario (CAO), the Summit Series will continue to feature professional development sessions from experts around the world, now spread across three dates in the calendar year to better accommodate our coaches’ seasons and schedules.
Since 2007, the CAO’s leadership events have become signature dates on the provincial sport calendar, creating an opportunity for coaches, teachers, administrators and everyone with a passion for sport to gain valuable insight into shaping the future of coaching and sport.
This is a unique one-of-a-kind event where you can receive training in the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) in a number of different sports and contexts at discounted prices!
The Super Clinic affords coaches—from high performance to grassroots—with an opportunity to gain sport-specific technical abilities, plus leadership and decision-making skills, opening doors to new opportunities in both coaching and life.
