Coaching certification clinics are now starting to be posted on the USA hockey website, www.usahockey.com. The following are the levels and what the certification is needed:
- Level 1 - Mite, 8 & Under.
- Level 2 - Squirt, 10 & Under.
- Level 3 - Pee Wee, Bantam, 12 & Under, 14 & Under.
Level 1 class is the 11th of October, Level 2 is the 18th of October, and Level 3 is the 1st of November. I would recommend signing up early as the classes fill quickly.
Additionally the following is when the certifications expire and what levels need to be taken:
Season Certification Received/Year Certification Expires
2002/03 Dec. 31, 2005
2003/04 Dec. 31, 2006
2004/05 Dec. 31, 2007
2005/06 Dec. 31, 2008
2006/07 Dec. 31, 2009
2007/08 Dec. 31, 2010
If you are a Level 1 coach you must take the Level 2 coach course to be recertified and if you are a level 2 coach you must take Level 3 BEFORE the expiration date to remain a current coach.
If you are a Level 3 coach, you must attend another Level 3 clinic, move up and attend a Level 4 clinic, or complete the online recertification program through FlexxCoach BEFORE the expiration date to remain a current coach. USA Hockey highly recommends completing the online course. Click on this FlexxCoach information link for more information.
