The primary difference between the Community Sport Stream (Club Coach) and the Competition Stream (Competition Coach) is evaluation. In order for a coach to be deemed "Certified", the coach must undergo a mandatory evaluation. Coaches can begin their training in the competition stream (i.e. Community Stream is not a prerequisite). HOWEVER, coaches need to have a good understanding of the game and technical skills. New coaches are strongly recommended to take the Club Coach workshop to get the fundamentals of teaching the curling delivery that is not provided in the Competition Coach course. This will allow coaches to enhance their knowledge and skill base.
