The Aboriginal Coaching Manual is the result of 15 years of research about best applying First Nation cultures, values and lifestyles to sports education and training for non-aboriginal and aboriginal coaches alike.
The ACM aims to provide culturally relevant material as well as increase the accessibility of national coaching certification for aboriginal sport leaders and improve the ability of non-aboriginal coaches to apply an understanding of aboriginal values.
The Vancouver Aboriginal Friendship Centre (located at 1607 East Hastings St.) offers the course at no charge Feb. 3 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for all coaches 16 years and older. Lunch is provided.
