Apprentice Coach Role
Apprentice coaches attend the Canada Games to provide them with a multisport experience and the opportunity to observe and learn from their mentor coaches. The apprentice coach should have a specific and meaningful role within the team. The apprentice coach will be provided with an accreditation at the Games. This accreditation will provide the coach the same access as the other coaches. Due to the technical regulations of certain sports, apprentice coaches may not have access to the competition area in all sports.
