CROSS COUNTRY ALBERTA
LEADERSHIP GRANT PROGRAM
CCA is committed to helping its Member Clubs strengthen their leadership, coaching and officials' development. As well as providing
and facilitating high quality courses and seminars to clubs and members, CCA has set up its LEADERSHIP GRANT PROGRAM to
provide financial support to individual leaders, coaches, and officials that are contributing to their club’s development. All applications
will be considered and ranked on applicability based on an endorsement from their club and the relative impact to the growth and
improvement of their club's programs.
