COMMUNITY SOFTBALL
The Community Softball context is typically for either youth participating in a recreational environment, or masters participants participating for recreation, fitness, and socialization reasons. The participants are in the Active for Life stage of long-term athlete development. The role of the coach is to encourage participants to continue their involvement in the sport.
For Softball Alberta Provincial Championships in categories that do not lead to a Western or Canadian Championship, at least one coach must be Community Softball Trained. Trained status is granted once a coach has completed the Foundations of Coaching Softball pre-requisite, attended all portions of the Community Softball clinic and completed their Make Ethical Decisions Online Evaluation.
The Community Softball clinic is offered completely in person over 1.5 days – coaches will attend all modules held at a facility equipped with classroom/boardroom space and gym space.
