First Aid Training - FEBRUARY 10, 2018
2018-02-10 08:30 - 16:30 (America/Winnipeg)
STANDARD FIRST AID TRAINING:
The Red Cross Standard First Aid Course is a Blended Learning Course which allows the participants to complete the Theory part of the course online (approximately 8 hours), followed by an 8 hour in-class practical training and evaluation component. The course covers both the theory and the practical components of First Aid training including CPR- child and adult and AED training.
PRACTICAL COURSE:
Location: Sport For Life Centre/145 Pacific Ave/Winnipeg
Time: 8:30am to 4:30 pm with a one hour lunch break (It is recommended that participants bring a lunch as there are not a lot of restaurant options in the area).
Course Date: Saturday, February 10, 2018 (Registration closes one week prior)
(Alternate dates available: Feb 3, Mar 17, or Apr 7)
There is a limit of 12 participants for each course and registration must be completed online one week prior to the course date.(This allows enough time to complete the online training). If there are less than 6 participants, we will try to re-schedule a course to a later date, as the practical component requires practice of skills and scenarios in a group setting.
Participants can follow the link below and select the Standard First Aid Course option to register and pay online. Registrants will then receive a link and invitation to the online course.

Certification requires completion of the online theory, demonstration of the practical skills and at least 75% on the written test.

Coaching Clinic: Community Initiation Training
2017-09-30 09:00 - 16:00
Let’s Ride! Community Cycling- Initiation (CCI) is the NCCP context for coaches who will primarily work with novice, pre-competitive cyclists at the community level, including participants in the Active Start, FUNdamentals and early Learn to Train stages of athlete development. The program is simple, based on a number of pre-designed lesson plans, and adaptable to the varying skill and ability levels of participants. The focus of the program is on having participants develop skills which are basic to MTB, BMX, and Road, in a controlled, off-road, off-trail setting such as a sport field or parking lot.
CCI training has two parts – the “Let’s Ride!” CCI workshop, and a Basic Bicycling Skills workshop. The first workshop provides information on ethical coaching, participants and their needs, basic practice planning, equipment and other important information for coaches of beginner cyclists. The second workshop provides an opportunity for “on-bike” practice in skill teaching and analysis, practice coaching and use of provided lesson plans. The community initiation classroom course must be completed before you complete the Basic Bike Skills workshop. On completion, coaches have “Trained” status in NCCP. Read more…
