NCCP Learning Facilitators: Nash & Power

The Softball NL Board of Directors would like to take this opportunity to officially announce that Mark Nash (Placentia) and Loyola Power (CBS) were approved to begin the process of becoming Certified Learning Facilitators under the NCCP Program with Softball Canada.

Softball NL would like to thank both Mark and Loyola for stepping forward to become NCCP Learning Facilitators. The ability of Softball NL to offer Coaching Courses in the coming years will be instrumental in moving the Coaching Development in the Province forward.

Softball Canada Master Coach Developer Mark Quinn was recently in the Province to facilitate Weekend One of Competition Introduction – What to Coach (April 28-29) and both Nash and Power attended the coaching clinic as co-facilitators. Quinn will be back in the Province on June 2-3 for Weekend Two of Competition Introduction – How to Coach. Nash and Power will once again be attending the coaching clinic as co-facilitators and they are being evaluated to be Certified Learning Facilitators and will be able to facilitate both the On-Going Participation and Competition Introduction Courses for Softball NL.
