Join us for FUNdamentals Coach in Quinte!

OSSA is hosting a FUNdamentals Coach Course at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre on June 4-5, 2022.

The minimum age for this course is 16 years old as of the course start date. More information about the Coaching Pathways can be found on our Become a Coach page. The course fee is $280.00 + HST ($316.40) Register HERE.
