The certification equips students with the knowledge and skills to provide a positive, safe and effective sporting environment for CNMI athletes.
“This initiative reflects a shared commitment between NMC and PSS to promote high standards in youth athletics, focusing on athlete development, sportsmanship and safety,” NMC health and physical education assistant professor Denise Myers said. “By investing in coach education, the partnership supports not only the performance of school teams but also the overall wellness of our community. Congratulations to all the coaches for their hard work and dedication.”
