Each year NEDS continues to grow its pool of certified coaches which furthers the education and knowledge brought to lessons at NEDS every day. We thank our coaches for their commitment and desire to improve their skill sets which make New England Disabled Sports one of the premier adaptive sports programs in the country.
Note to Coaches: If anyone took other parts of exams or educational certifications that the office has not acknowledged, please let us know. Congratulations to you as well!
We would also like to thank our dedicated and talented NEDS trainers and our friends at Loon Mountain Alpine Ski School for helping out coaches on their journeys to higher accreditations.
