CI Evaluation Instructions
This document is intended as preliminary reading for individuals requiring evaluation for Competition
Introduction with the purpose of becoming Competition Introduction Certified.
For your CI #1 on ice certification:
1. If you do not know of an evaluator in your area, contact Ringette Alberta in order to be put in contact
with one. If you already know of an evaluator, contact them directly. Ensure you have two or three
practice ice times available for the evaluator to choose from.
2. Send your practice plan and emergency action plan via fax or email to the evaluator at least one week
in advance of your practice so it can be reviewed and corrections can be made prior to the one ice
evaluation. Failure to meet the minimum standards for these components of the evaluation results in the
candidate having to resubmit, so it is important to have this looked over in advance.
3. Your practice plan needs to follow the outline and categories discussed in the course. It must also
include a scenario analysis either from the list in the evaluation package or one unique to the team you
are coaching. Identify the problem and indicate the drills and procedure you would use to correct the
problem. This is a key component of the on ice presentation and evaluation.
4. Make sure you have the evaluation package that was given to you with your course material. Read
the evaluation pages as these are the things you will be evaluated on. The evaluator will be filling out
these pages when you meet for the on ice evaluation so make sure to bring them along.
For the on ice evaluation, you need to do the following:
1. Be prepared to meet with the evaluator 30 minutes prior to the ice time. Ensure you bring:
a. The practice plan you will use that day complete with scenario analysis
b. Emergency Action Plan
c. Candidate self assessment sheet
2. Present and run a minimum 50 minute practice for the team you are coaching or comparable level
athletes.
Allow 30-40 minutes for the post ice time meeting. The evaluator will go over:
a. The coaching behavior and observation forms
b. Strengths and weaknesses of your presentation
c. Identify areas that have not met the minimum requirements and discuss the corrections that need
to be made prior receiving certification
You will then fill out the appropriate forms that must be sent to Ringette Alberta to proceed with your
certification.

For CI #2 Certification:
(This can be done at the same time your CI evaluation is done.)
Read the CI #2 coach evaluation package which was part of your course materials. Bring the package
with you as it needs to be completed by the evaluator. You will submit the forms with your CI #1
evaluation forms.
You will need to:
1. Bring the seasonal plan and work book you completed in the CI #2 course
2. Be prepared to demonstrate how the practice you are being evaluated on ice for fits into your
seasonal plan
Both sets of forms must be submitted to Ringette Alberta with the $80 evaluation fee (payable by
cheque to Ringette Alberta). It is a good idea to photocopy all the pages you submit for your own
records.
For Ethics certification:
Ethics certification is now a required component of the coaching requirements. To become Make
Ethical Decisions certified, you must complete the Comp-Intro online evaluation at the CAC website:
http://evaluation.coach.ca/course/view.php?id=59
You will need your CC# and password for this. If you do not currently have your password you will
need to contact the CAC to receive it. They can be reached at (613) 235-5000 or coach@coach.ca.
When you have completed CI#1 training and evaluation, CI#2 training and evaluation and Comp-Intro
Make Ethical Decisions evaluations you will be granted CI Certified status.
