AGE SPECIFIC MODULE
In addition to the certification level training, coaches must also complete online age-specific training modules specific to the level of play they are coaching, if they have not already taken that module. This requirement applies to all coaches at all levels. Coaches may complete more than one age-specific module in any given season.
CERTIFICATION LEVEL CEP
All coaches must enter USA Hockey’s Coaching Education Program at Level 1, and must continue their education with a coaching clinic each year.
EXCEPTION: Coaches of Mite/8U or younger players may remain at Level 1 or their current level.
SAFE SPORT TRAINING
USA Hockey SafeSport Program is the online training/education that is available to help our USA Hockey members become aware of the information necessary to help prevent abuse from occurring in our sport. All USA Hockey registered coaches, officials, employees and volunteers are required to take the training at no cost. The training is comprised of short video segments.
SafeSport Training must be completed prior to the start of the season and every year thereafter.
BACKGROUND SCREENING
All background screening will be conducted by USA Hockey national background screen vendor, NCSI. All new screens submitted through the new NCSI national screening program will be valid for two seasons.
COACHING ETHICS CODE
All USA Hockey ice hockey coaches (head and assistant) and instructors must abide by the USA Hockey Coaching Ethics Code, and understand that violations may result in full or partial forfeiture of coaching privileges in programs, at sites or events under USA Hockey’s governance.
All coaches have an obligation to be familiar with USA Hockey’s Coaching Ethics Code. Lack of awareness or misunderstanding of an ethical standard is not itself a defense to a charge of unethical conduct.
