The exciting partnership between OFSAA and the Canadian Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association (CIAAA) was established in 2016 to make Leadership Training Courses available for Ontario Athletic Directors with the following goals:

• To promote the role of Athletic Directors in Ontario high schools

• To offer courses in professional development that are specific and applicable in the everyday role of Athletic Directors in Ontario high schools

• To provide support for existing and aspiring Athletic Directors

WHY TAKE THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING COURSES?

  1. Personal and professional development
  2. To network with other A.D.’s in your region and across the province
  3. To assist those who will follow in your position and help them better understand the role of the Athletic Director in your school and/or board
