Rule of Two Policy

The Coaching Association of Canada has developed standards for the Rule of Two.
Canada Soccer expects that all organizations will work toward the Gold Standard – having two NCCP-trained or
certified coaches always present with an athlete. If NCCP-trained or certified coaches are not available, screened
volunteers (such as managers, support personnel, chaperones, and Directors of the club or organization) should be
available instead. If screened volunteers are not available, parents of other athletes should be asked to temporarily
substitute. If another adult is not available, there should always be more than one athlete with the coach (this is the
lowest standard and is not recommended).
