4.8 AWAD Committee Report 2012
Committee for Athletes with a Disability September 30, 2012
Year-End Activity Report
The Committee’s terms of reference and mission vision were initially created and continue to be followed.
The committee is currently comprised of the following individuals: Joshua Drury (chair), Laura Domenicucci
and Jaques Dublois.
The current goal of the committee is to create components of the LTAD and NCCP modules, the competition
structure and officiating athletes with a disability. A working group has been developed to assist in the research
and writing of some of these components. The following individuals will work with the committee in the creation
of the NCCP components: NCCP /LTAD Co-Chairs Gérard Lauzière and Kraig Devlin as well as committee
members Donna Gardecki, Derek Ryan and Tim Suzuki. The modules for Instructor Beginner and Competition
Introduction will be written later this year, edited for content and delivered to NCCP courses next year to be
piloted in two provinces.
After the above NCCP project has been completed and the final versions have been written and delivered, it is the
goal of the committee to then look into revisions to be made to the competition structure that will be beneficial
for Canadian karate athletes with a disability. We hope to hold exhibition events in at least two provinces before
the end of next year so that we will be ready to hold our first AWAD National exhibition event at the 2014 National
Championships.
