Coaching Requirements

USA Hockey registration is required for all players and coaches who take the ice. This is effectively your insurance that helps cover medical expenses in the event of a hockey related injury.

SafeSport is an online module to help coaches and volunteers become aware of the information necessary to help prevent abuse from occurring in our sport.

This is required every year and you cannot be added to a roster until completed.

In addition to your in-person coaching certification USA Hockey requires that coaches take an online courses for both the specific age of players that you will be coaching and another one covering player safety. You only have to take each module once.

Modules must be completed prior to participating in any team activities. You cannot be added to a roster until completed.

Find, register and attend the required certification clinic.

You can only attend one clinic per season and all coaches start at Level 1. You can take clinics from April 1 to December 31st each season.

Coaching Education Program Certification Clinic requirements must be completed by December 31st.
