To follow up on this thread, still haven't gotten certified as planned.

Have run into a roadblock of sorts, as there are age restrictions here in Ontario and only fairly limited courses available. Level 1 coaching certifications are broken down into 3 groups, Theory, Technical, and Practical. As far I can tell, only the theory will be available to me until I turn 16. The others are restricted by age...which kind of sucks, but I suppose the reasoning in general may be good. I suspect most under 16 don't have the experience to fully comprehend all that is involved...not really sure.

Anyway, must wait until there is a clinic open for theory, as that will give me the ability to work a corner and make it easier for us to travel to shows and trade off responsibilties.

Here is a link to the categories here in Ontario:
