It is the mission of the National Council for Accreditation of Coaching Education (NCACE) to support qualified coaches for sport participants through programs that provide quality coaching education. The essential function of the Council is to review the quality of coaching education programs and encourage continuous improvement of coaching education. The Council endorses national standards for coaches that facilitate certification, evaluation, and selection of coaches. In addition, the Council oversees the development of coaching education and guidelines for the review of coaching education programs.
NCACE will review coaching education/certification programs that seek accreditation. These reviews will be based on the program's compliance with Guidelines for Coaching Education and the National Standards for Sport Coaches.
