STAC membership fees are increasing for 2008. The 2008 membership form is now available and on-line registration is available now.
As long-standing STAC members will realize, we have been fortunate that STAC annual fees have remained the same for many years. STAC is intentionally keeping the increase to a minimum for adult and family memberships; the junior rate has stayed the same. The modest increase is to facilitate on-line registration and is in response to rising insurance and administrative costs.
Attention triathlon coaches,
The document linked below describes the process by which non-certified, but knowledgeable, coaches can become certified Triathlon coaches. Triathlon Canada has recently received approval for its "Challenge" process whereby interested coaches do not have to attend the two weekend clinics in order to become certified. However, there is still a considerable amount of work that must be done in order to become certified. All of the written tasks as well as the part 3 coaching camp must be completed and passed. As well, a coaching portfolio must be prepared and submitted that shows that you are actively coaching within the sport. This is important as this is the portion of the coaching education process that provides Triathlon Canada with the comfort level that the coaches seeking certification are competent at the task of coaching.
