The Coaching Association of Canada’s (CAC) Women in Coaching program, has offered a “We are Coachesprogram since 2005 to assist in meeting its objective of increasing the number of coaching and leadership opportunities for women at all levels of sport.   The specific objective of We are Coaches is to recruit, train, and retain women coaches and leaders in community sports by providing encouragement, best practice models, case studies, templates, and financial support.

Funding up to $1,500* is available for:

·       The hosting and/or support by NSOs, P/TSOs or clubs, to women who wish to become Learning Facilitators and/or Evaluators.
“Women-only” training sessions enable the Learning Facilitator to tackle the specific realities that women face in coaching, and to create a climate of confidence and openness for the women that attend. This initiative is not only about training -- it is also about increasing the number of coaching and leadership opportunities for women at ALL levels of sport.

To be eligible for a We are Coaches grant:
·       Sports applying must have an under-representation of women in coaching;
