Is this an official or government-recognized coaching certification?

No. The SixSevenBall Coach Certification is our own credential that demonstrates coaching knowledge — it is not a government, school-board, or sport-association credential, and it does not replace certifications your league or province may require, such as Canada's National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) or background screening like Respect in Sport. Always confirm what your specific league requires.

Do I need to pass every quiz on the first try?
