Coaching with TTSASK takes three things: get certified, get cleared to keep athletes safe, and keep both up to date. Here’s the whole checklist in plain language – plus the tools to do the job well.
Four things every TTSASK coach needs. The first one is your coaching course; the other three keep athletes safe and are required across all sports in Saskatchewan.
Take the coaching course for the level you want to teach. Most coaches start with the one-day Community stream and build up from there.
A short online course on spotting and stopping bullying, abuse, and harassment. Every TTSASK coach must complete it before their first session.
A free 90-minute online module on keeping sport free of mistreatment. You take it in “The Locker,” the national coaching website.
A criminal record check, as required by Sask Sport’s screening policy, before working with youth. The office can help you sort this out.
Not sure where you stand? Email the office and we’ll walk you through exactly what you need.
Once you’re certified, you keep your status Active by earning Professional Development (PD) points over a five-year cycle. How many depends on your stream – and Table Tennis Canada makes it easy to get there.
Track it all in your online record, The Locker – your certifications and PD points live there. And keep your Respect in Sport current: it’s valid five years, so recertify before it expires.
The official places to take courses, book training, and check your status. Each opens on the provider’s own site.
Our own resources, free to use. We add to these through the season – email the office if you need one that isn’t posted yet.
Start with the pathway – it shows every stage from your first one-day workshop to national coaching, and where you fit right now.
