Coach Conference 2026
Ontario Cycling (OC), with support from Canadian Sport Institute Ontario (CSIO) is proud to announce the annual Coach Conference on November 28 & November 29 in Milton, ON. The conference is open to OC members and non-OC members that focus on Competition Development and High-Performance levels of coaching. NCCP Professional Development (PD) points will be provided to coaches attending the conference.
LOCATION & TIME
Date: Saturday, November 28th – Sunday, November 29th
Time: 9am – 4pm
Location: Home2Suites (Milton, ON)
Based on the positive feedback from last year’s format, we have once again been intentional in designing the conference to provide coaches with an opportunity to curate their own personal development plan throughout the weekend. Each topic has been carefully selected, with each presenter having a clear goal of providing each coach in the room with something practical to implement into their daily coaching practices. You won’t just hear from speakers, you will have several opportunities to pause, reflect, and capture what matters most for your growth. The conference will be facilitated by National Coach Developer of the Year Recipient Glenn Cundari (Founder Coach+) who will also lead sessions, workshops, and conclude the conference with a guided wrap-up that brings it all together, leaving each coach with a personalized development plan that will remain with them as they continue on in their coaching endeavours.
Registration includes a light breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a giveaway. Please contact Michael Selliah for questions. Space is limited and will be on a first come first serve basis.
