Coaching NL Travel Subsidy Program
Coach & Officials Travel Subsidy Program
SportNL supports coaches and officials in accessing development opportunities that may require travel. The Travel Subsidy Program helps reduce the financial barriers associated with attending approved coaching and officiating courses, certifications, and professional development opportunities, as well as bringing in certified facilitators from out of province.
