CSA to run B License-National Course in Halifax

Following the cancellation of the course scheduled to take place on June 21-27, in Ontario, the CSA has decided to offer a B License-National Course in Halifax, Nova Scotia, August 21-27, 2004.

The decision to run a course in Halifax was made after the CSA was informed there were a number of potential B License coaches in Atlantic Canada who were unable to attend courses previously offered in June due to scheduling concerns. In keeping with the CSA’s efforts to improve access to National Courses across the Country, the association agreed to sponsor a course in the Atlantic Region this year.

“By providing this opportunity we feel that we can have a favorable impact on the development of coaches in the area,” said Ray Clark, Director of Coaching & Player Development for the CSA. “By increasing the number of nationally qualified coaches, we believe it will help spread our philosophy on player development throughout Atlantic Canada and across the Country.”

Clark also pointed out that, although priority is given to coaches from the Atlantic Region, some places have been allocated to coaches wishing to apply from other parts of Canada.

Coaches who have already been successful in completing the B License-Provincial Course can download an application from the CSA Web Page by going to:

The cost of the Course is $400, which includes instruction, accommodation, meals and air travel, where applicable. Those wishing to apply from Atlantic Canada should send their applications, along with a certified cheque to:
