New ACA Coach Requirements 2025
Coach memberships can now be purchased on 2mev.com. If you had a membership on the old registration system, it has now been imported into the new system. If you need to purchase a new one, it can be purchased at https://2mev.com/#!/memberships/alberta-climbing-association-memberships-2024
With the transition to the 2mev.com registration platform, the ACA is also enforcing new coaching requirements. This will align us with CEC coaching requirements and promote good coaching practice and accountability within the ACA.
Coaches will be required to meet all requirements in order to enter isolation at ACA competitions. The requirements will be rolled out in a stepwise manner. See below for the list of requirements:

Starting in September, we will also require criminal record checks completed September, 2023 or later. Please send your criminal record check to paigeboklaschuk@albertaclimbing.ca AND jacquelynmitchell@albertaclimbing.ca for verification.

If we add further coaching requirements in the future, we will inform all coaches with a current ACA membership and post updates on the ACA website.
If you have any questions, please reach out to paigeboklaschuk@albertaclimbing.org and board@albertaclimbing.org.
Thank you for your commitment!
