NCACE
The National Council for Accreditation of Coaching Education grants accreditation to educational programs that meet or exceed the minimum requirements outlined as essential in this document. The various organizations represented by NCACE cooperate to establish, promote, and maintain the quality of educational programs for sport coaches.
Educational programs for sports coaches will be evaluated according to documentation presented by Coaching Education Providers who demonstrate the ability to furnish to coaches the knowledge, skills, and values that are stated in the National Standards for Sport Coaches. Each educational program will be evaluated according to the degree to which it provides opportunities for individuals to develop the benchmarks, by level, associated with each standard. In addition, program administrators must ensure that the delivery of the program and course content are consistent with the stated goals and objectives of the organization’s educational program for coaches.
The goal of NCACE is to maximize the availability of qualified coaches for all sport programs. The accreditation of coaching education programs provides consistent and scientifically-based standards to assess (1) the content of programs submitted for review, (2) the qualifications of instructors who educate coaches, and (3) the process by which essential content for educating coaches is provided within the programs under review. NCACE supports the inclusion and diversity in all its programs, services, policies, and procedures.
