September 3, 2008, Ottawa, ON – The Coaching Association of Canada is now accepting applications for the next wave of GM’s Making Dreams Possible Club Coaching Grants with the grant deadline of September 26, 2008 fast approaching.
Since 2007, General Motors (GM), in partnership with the Coaching Association of Canada (CAC), has awarded 171 $2,000 grants to community sport organizations and 20 $10,000 grants to high performance coaches and athletes across Canada through the Making Dreams Possible program. Thus far, these grants have provided funds for training and development to over 9,000 coaches, and impacted nearly 110,000 Canadian athletes.
The goal of the Making Dreams Possible program is to enhance the sport experience for our Canadian athletes at all levels through coaching excellence.Athletes begin their sport experience at the local level and that’s why it’s so important for them to receive the best possible coaching at the earliest stage of their involvement. Coaches play a critical role in the experience of young athletes and this national funding initiative will strengthen their impact and contribute to the success of sport clubs by providing financial support for NCCP coach education and training.
