THE COACHING ASSOCIATION OF CANADA - THE LOCKER

The Coaching Association of Canada has developed a new version of the
NCCP database called The Locker. This new version is being developed
in stages to all of the CAC's NCCP partners, including Special
Olympics, from January to April. This new system will allow the CAC
and their NCCP partners to correct issues that some coaches have had
with their records.

The Locker will provide all coaches with the opportunity to view their
own transcript, track their progress and guide their development.
