2021 Canada Summer Games Coaching Application Letter (click here)
The Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association is now actively taking applications for the coaching staff for the 2021 Canada Summer Games to represent team Alberta in St. Catharines, Ontario, August 6-21, 2021. The games will be split into 2 phases, but we are currently unsure which phase wrestling will be scheduled. The Canada Games Coaching Staff will be selected by the Alberta Amateur Wrestling Association executive committee. Five positions are ultimately available at the Games themselves, 2 men’s coaches, 2 women’s coaches and a team manager.
In order to apply, coaches must fill out the following application link no later than August 23, 2019. Those applying for a position on the Canada Summer Games Staff will be expected to provide a synopsis of their coaching/managerial qualifications, experience and what they would bring to the provincial team if they were selected as a coach or manager.
At the discretion of the executive, a pool of coaches may be selected, with the final coaching roster being named at a later date.

Note Regarding NCCP Certification
