The CSCP Community Coaching Stream has been developed to reduce barriers to coaches entering the pathway or existing coaches who want to coach specifically within a recreational context. Coaches, parents, or the "Weekend Warrior" can lead their participants during training with a non-competitive focus.

The entire training can be accessed through online workshops, so that participants can become trained at their own time. As a result, it is important to make note of the scope of practice that coaches can work with.
