2010 National Team Events – Coach Positions (Olympic Program)

(Email from Athletics Canada)

Hello all –

The purpose of this email is to inform you about Athletics Canada’s new strategic direction towards a professionally-based staff model as it applies to selected national team events.  This model is aligned with our high performance plan as presented to our funding partners.  Specifically for 2010 where there are a limited number of teams and a limited number of staff positions available.  For 2010 we will not be going through an application process with regard to coaching staff.

For national team projects where non-AC contracted coaches are required, a call will go out asking for letters of interest.  On the Olympic side this will likely include the NACAC U23 championships; however, at this point we do not have confirmed information regarding dates or location.

As well, stay tuned for information regarding the Moncton 2010 World Juniors project which will include opportunities for coaches to work with professional staff coaches and an international Coaching Conference. This information will be made available prior to the Holiday break.

We highly value your contribution to AC’s national team program and will continue to involve you at various levels going forward – you are part of the Canadian athletics family!

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me or Melissa Dowling.
Yours in sport,
