Team Nova Scotia - EDIA Coach Apprenticeship Program

2024-05-23

VNS excited to support coaching capacity with equity-deserving groups through the Team Nova Scotia Coach Apprenticeship Program (EDIA-CAP).

In partnership with Sport Nova Scotia and Support4Sport, Volleyball Nova Scotia is excited to pilot an Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility Coach Apprenticeship Program (EDIA-CAP) for the 2024 Provincial Team (Beach or Indoor) season.

VNS strongly believes that apprenticeship programs can be an essential part of the development of a coach. Furthermore, apprenticeship programs can support building coaching capacity in equity-deserving groups.

The 2024 EDIA-CAP program will provide the opportunity for up to four coaches to participate in and experience all parts of a Team Nova Scotia summer indoor or beach volleyball program.

This pilot program is available to coaches from racially visible backgrounds and other equity-deserving groups. In 2024, preference will be given to applicants from Black/African Nova Scotian or Indigenous communities.
