National Coaching Insurance Portal: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how NCCP-certified coaches can access liability coverage through the National Coaching Insurance Portal.
The National Coaching Insurance Portal is a specialized resource designed to provide liability coverage for individuals involved in coaching activities. This portal helps ensure that coaches are protected while they are performing their professional or volunteer duties.
Who it's for
This scheme is specifically for coaches who have obtained their NCCP certification. It is intended for those who are actively involved in coaching and need to ensure their activities are backed by professional protection. Whether you are coaching in a professional capacity or dedicating your time to community sports at a local rink or field, you must hold this specific certification to qualify for the benefits offered through this portal.
What you get
The primary benefit of this portal is access to liability coverage. This coverage is designed to protect you from the financial risks and legal responsibilities that can sometimes arise during coaching activities. By having this protection in place, you can focus on your athletes and your coaching responsibilities with the knowledge that you have a layer of security regarding your coaching duties.
What it costs you
Accessing this insurance is not free. To participate in the scheme and receive coverage, you are required to pay an annual membership fee. This fee must be paid every year to ensure your protection remains continuous and your membership stays in good standing.
The catch to know
The most important thing to remember is that your insurance coverage is strictly tied to your professional status. Your liability coverage is only valid if you maintain an active certification. If your certification lapses or becomes inactive for any reason, your insurance protection will no longer be in effect. It is your responsibility to ensure your credentials remain current to stay covered.
How to apply
- Confirm that your NCCP certification is currently active and valid.
- Access the official portal through the Coaching Association of Canada.
- Complete the necessary registration steps within the portal.
- Pay the required annual membership fee to activate your coverage.
