Part B: The Video Component
All candidates are required to submit a DVD or flash drive containing a brief introduction and
excerpts from their CanSkate session. Videos should not exceed 1 hour. Submissions may be a
continuous film or excerpts on different days of your CanSkate session. The main focus of the video
is to capture the coach candidate leading the various portions of the CanSkate session.
Step One: Preparation
q Inform parents/guardians in advance that you will be filming for professional development
purposes. The footage from this evaluation portfolio will be reviewed with the sole purpose
of the NCCP Instruction–Beginner CanSkate Coach Certification.
Step Two: Video Introduction
Begin your DVD with a brief introduction of yourself either on or off the ice. Limit the total time of
this section to five minutes or less.
Include:
q A brief introduction of yourself
q Your main strength and challenge as a CanSkate coach (explain one of each)
q A brief introduction to the CanSkate session on which you are teaching
Step Three: CanSkate Session Video
Candidates are required to film and submit all sections of their CanSkate session as outlined below.
If they are not usually responsible for leading one of the session components they must plan to lead
it for the day of filming. Each section of the video does not need to be filmed on the same day or
with the same group of skaters.
Warm-up
q Coach candidate must lead complete choreographed warm-up.
Lesson Time
q Coach candidate must instruct a lesson. Lesson times should be minimum 10 minutes in
length, and should not exceed 15 minutes.
q For the lesson filmed, please complete the lesson plan on the template provided below.
q Lessons may not be filmed during assessment days, and must include a progression circuit.
Group Activity
q Coach candidate must lead the group activity.
Cool-Down
q Coach candidate must lead the CanSkate session cool-down.
NCCP CanSkate Certified Coach – Evaluation Portfolio

Fast Track and Fun Zone
q Excerpt(s) showing how the Fast Track is used during the CanSkate session. Coach does not
need to be shown coaching in the Fast Track.
o Include a brief verbal explanation of how the Fast Track is used during your CanSkate
session.
q Excerpt showing how the Fun Zone is incorporated into your session.
o The coach does not need to be part of the video showing the Fun Zone, but could provide a brief verbal explanation of the Fun Zone as the clip is being shown.
Note: Please keep these two excerpts (Fast Track and Fun Zone) to a total of five minutes
Filming Procedures
To assist you in producing your video to standard, we suggest that you consider the following
filming procedures:
q During the warm-up, group activity and cool-down sections music should be audible. The
coach’s voice does not need to be audible at this point.
q During the lesson time the voice of the coach should be audible at all times. This means that
the camera must be close to the coach. Therefore, the person filming must be on the ice
and be a registered Skate Canada member. It is up to you to ensure the video is audible. In
cases where the coach cannot be clearly heard and understood, the video will be returned
unmarked and will need to be refilmed and resubmitted at the candidates’ expense.
q Fast Track and Fun Zone excerpts do not need to capture the session music. An overview of
what the Fun Zone looks like, including extra teaching aids, challenge skills and Fast Track
components should be included verbally.
q The end result of the video must provide the Learning Facilitator with a clear view of the different components of the session and the coach candidates’ participation in all areas.
