PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
OAS coaches are awarded professional development (PD) points for completing courses and programs that add tools to their coaching skill set.
WEBINARS
Webinars are a great way for coaches to learn skills that will help them better support their athletes from the comfort of their own homes, while also earning PD points! Webinars will be posted here as they are developed.
THIRD-PARTY RESOURCES & COURSES
We are fortunate to be able to leverage several programs from other notable sport organizations. These programs are available to all registered Ontario coaches and provide an opportunity for OAS coaches to expand their knowledge and understanding of leadership in sport.
