Taekwondo Canada Announces New Club Excellence Program Targeted at Clubs Across Canada
Posted on
Taekwondo Canada is proud to announce the development of its new Club Excellence program. The Club Excellence program, the first of its kind for Taekwondo Canada, is targeted at all Canadian taekwondo clubs with the goal of aligning all through best practices designed at the NSO level.
The Taekwondo Canada Club Excellence Program is open to all taekwondo clubs across the country, regardless of size. The program is designed to raise organizational standards and recognize clubs that demonstrate best practices in their daily operations.
Club Excellence integrates three crucial elements: coaching, Safe Sport, and organizational leadership. By participating, clubs commit to accountability while ensuring a welcoming, safe, and developmentally appropriate environment for all taekwondo participants. The program is built on three pillars of success that provide a framework for club development, support Taekwondo Canada initiatives, and strengthen the community. These pillars focus on Operations, Coaching and Club Administration.
These pillars establish the foundational standards for Club Excellence. Athletes, parents, and coaches can be confident that member clubs are aligned with the highest standards and best practices for taekwondo in Canada. Clubs recognized through the program are leaders in Safe Sport and demonstrate a strong commitment to excellence. By aligning these standards nationwide, Taekwondo Canada empowers clubs to deliver the best possible taekwondo experience for everyone involved.
As a Club Excellence member, your club and its members will receive a variety of benefits designed to enhance operations, strengthen credibility, and ensure the best possible experience for all participants. Benefits include:
-
- Use of Club Excellence branding to showcase your organization’s commitment to quality.
- Recognition on the Taekwondo Canada website as a leader in excellence and Safe Sport.
- Access to policies and by-laws that strengthen governance and organizational structure.
- Guidance on enhanced club operations to improve program delivery and sustainability.
- Reassurance of Safe Sport alignment and best practices across all Club Excellence organizations.
- Eligible to host Cadet and Junior national champions that receive a NextGen ID Kyorugi Domestic Development Bursary.
By becoming a Club Excellence member, your club demonstrates leadership in safety, accountability, and organizational excellence, while gaining tools and recognition to help your athletes and community thrive.
In announcing the program Taekwondo Canada Executive Director Dave Harris said, “Taekwondo Canada is extremely excited about the unveiling of the organization’s new Club Excellence Program. I believe that this program which focuses on Canadian clubs, will assist in improving best practices and services offered to our athletes and parents. The focus on excellence is crucial to our organization, and we are excited to bring this vision and focus to club owners across the nation.”
