Curling coaches are community leaders who can inspire passion for sport and physical activity. They mentor young athletes to develop essential life skills, as well as help them realize their potential. Participating in coach education significantly increases a coach’s confidence in their abilities. Having trained coaches is one of the key factors that contributes to a quality sport experience.
