Coaches
The Canadian Deaf Sports Association currently has 30 people who play the roles of head coaches, assistant coaches and team managers.
Head coaches and assistant coaches are encouraged to complete various levels of the National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP). NCCP level 2 is required to work as a coach with the CDSA and level 3 is desirable for sport events.
