Swim coach in court

The CCES, Coaches of Canada and Swim Canada are in couort to persuade the court that CEC RUSSELL should not coach in Canada, because he was misleading in 2005. He did not reveal that he had been convicted in the USA on a coonspiracy charge related to trafficking.
Canadian children have the right to be coached by people who are trained and certified as coaches. It is high time that every person who coaches our children was REQUIRED to take NCCP courses.
People think that just anyone can coach. Not true. Providing leadreship to children is not some innate quality, any more than parenting is!
Let us hope that the Ontario Supreme Court will see that Cec Russell is unfit to coach swimming or any other sport in this country.
We support the three sport organizations in their quest to make sure he is out of Canadian sport.
