Youth Recreation Program Leader Training

A course for youth and adults who coach and lead kids.

Learn how to reach and teach children and youth as a community recreation and sport program leader.

We’ve all been there. We had the best, or worst, coach or program leader who really made an impact on our lives.

But how did they do it? How should they not have done it?

How is it that excellent coaches are made?

When youth leaders can have such a significant impact on the lives of young people, it matters to act in ways that are inclusive, youth-centric, and can reach the inspired learning we are seeking as a community recreation group

You Know Your Sport

Teaching it is another story.

LEAD

Coach Ché is deeply committed to inclusive sport and recreation environments.

Life is an athletic event – all humans deserve access to diverse teaching methods that inspire connection and calibration to their definition of potential in the interests they chose.

Her professional development course, Youth Recreation Program Leader Training, is designed to help people who coach or lead children and youth in recreation or sport programs to become the coach that can reach, teach, and connect with young people in the ways that they need.

The course curriculum is rooted in the concepts of unconscious bias, youth engagement principles, and the long-term leadership and, when involving sport, athletic, development model.

Any facilitator working with young people can benefit from the training, no matter which recreation activity – sports, camp, art programs, summer student leaders, and more!

Working with local clubs and non-profits, Coach Ché is training recreation leaders in sailing, tennis, swimming, and youth empowerment programs. She is currently offering custom-schedules for organizations looking to make a move to develop their summer staff in 2024.

Who is this for?

In this course, recreation program leaders such as summer program student facilitators, camp counselors, sport coaches, day program leaders, or even baby-sitters can gain access to the necessary skills to lead and teach young people

What does it offer?

The five modules are built so that the youth leaders can learn how to deliver learning about a sport or activity they already have skill performing.

We don’t teach the sport - we teach how to teach the sport.
