How to Host a National Coaching Development Program (NCDP) Core Clinic

Steps to Organizing and NCDP Clinic

Contact USFCA staff at info@USFCA.org or call 817-995-2535 for coordination and assistance. The USFCA will:

Create a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which explains in detail the responsibilities of the host organizer and the USFCA.
Our clinic coordinator, Traci Sethre, will provide the clinic organizer with assistance selecting a qualified coach developer and a date which would best serve a particular coaching community. She will also provide guidance in finalizing the clinic syllabus to meet the Professional Development Committee approval requirements.
Create an official joint NCDP/host graphic to be used for marketing.
Complete the NCDP Core Clinic Application for the clinic organizer.
Market the clinic on the USFCA website, with national email blasts, and through social media exposure.
Collect the registration fees and pay the coach developers.

2. The host/organizer will:

Sign and return the above-mentioned MOU
Provide a finalized syllabus using the NCDP syllabus template
Provide the facility for the clinic, conduct the clinic, and follow the National Standards for Fencing Coaching Clinics.
Help coach developers turn in formative assessments conducted for coaches-in-training attending the clinic.
Turn in the Host Evaluation Form at the conclusion of the clinic.
Direct Coaches in Training to the participant evaluation form.
