2012 FCCA Convention: Testimonials and 3 minute hilite video

The 2012 Football Canada Coaches Association (FCCA) Convention, presented by Voxx Sports, was a huge success due to all who participated including the volunteers, speakers, exhibitors & sponsors, and the coaching delegates. Three hundred total participants learned from their peers, but more importantly networked with other coaches from across the county (6 provinces represented) and the camaraderie developed over the 2 days will no doubt result in positive progress for the state of the game in Canada.

Below are some testimonials and 3 minute video compilation during the weekend (video by Adam Pacheco):

“I was at the Nike Clinic in Las Vegas earlier this year and hands down, the FCCA Convention is better”
Brian Guebert (Saskatoon, SK) Football Saskatchewan

“Attending the 2012 FCCA Convention was a great experience and I would highly recommend it to coaches of all levels. There were excellent presentations made by influential and knowledgeable coaches from the OVFL, CIS, CFL and even the NFL. I learned a great deal by attending the Convention and I walked away from the experience as a better and more informed coach.”
Matt Kassner (Ottawa, ON) OVFL – Myers Riders JV head coach / Ottawa Gee Gees

It was fantastic to see the large turnout for the FCCA Conference in Burlington, ON. Seeing so many coaches committed to ongoing learning and professional development is a great sign for football players in Canada and for the game as a whole. The commitment demonstrated by Football Canada to coach education by offering the NCCP Safe Contact module for free to all coaches is also to be commended. Great speakers. Lots of opportunity to network and to learn. Great event.
