** Taekwondo Canada realizes there may be coaches who have not earned sufficient Professional Development/Maintenance points over the last five (5) years to renew their DC certifications and who will become “certified – not renewed” effective 1 January, 2019. Coaches in this situation are no longer eligible to register as C2 and cannot register as C3 or C4 coaches.
To address the needs of these coaches, for this year only, Taekwondo Canada has added a C2R coach category to permit coaches to register for DC evaluation and undergo formal observation and debrief with their Cadet athlete on the first day of event competition.
To register as C2R at this event, coaches must:
Have current Standard First Aid with CPR Level C certification
Have a current referee seminar in the context in which the coach intends to re-certify (Kyorugi – since 1 Jun 2018, Poomsae – within last two years)
Complete the DC portfolio
Have a Cadet athlete in order to complete the formal observation and debrief on the first competition day, and
Register for DC evaluation and undergo formal observation and debrief with their Cadet athlete on the first day of event competition.
