USA Hockey Coaches Registration
Coaches
Under the requirements to coach, USA Hockey instructs you that you must register with USA Hockey and pay the $40.00 fee. YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS, JUDY WILL DO THIS AND EHA PAYS THIS FEE FOR YOU. You will get a email confirmation once this is done and tells you to give to your local registrar. Judy does not need this you can keep for your records.
2011-2012 CEP New Requirements
The CEP levels are no longer associated with age levels. It used to be you had to be level 1 for mites, 2 for squirts etc. With the advent of the age specific modules that is no longer the case.
This should help with any confusion
This below is the class you take in person or if level 3 already you recertify on line
If no CEP you must take level 1
If level 1 last year must take level 2
If level 2 last year must take level 3
If level 3 last year you must recertify at level 3 ONLINE ONLY ( You cannot recertify at level 3 in a class must do it online) you do this every 2 years, but you can only do that twice. Then you must take level 4. You can also elect to take 4 sooner.
4 and 5 are for life.
EVERYONE including levels 4 and 5 must take the appropriate age level module you will be coaching. If you coach a Mite, Squirt and Bantam team you must take all 3 modules.
If you have a card that says it expires in 2012, ( Please verify this on the coach certification list link to the right) you are grandfathered in and you will not need to take the classroom part BUT WILL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE LEVEL MODULE YOU WILL BE COACHING.

New State Law that mandates all youth athletic associations to ensure that their coaches are trained on the subject of concussions
A new law, Chapter 90 (SF 612/HF 905), sets into place policies and new standards for educating youth athletes, parents, and coaches on the topic of head concussions. As drafted, the new law—which goes into effect for the school year on Sept. 1, 2011—applies to city-sponsored youth athletics, youth athletic associations, and regular school sports programs.
Starting this September, sports and athletic event organizers must make information accessible to all participating coaches, officials, youth athletes, and the athletes’ parents or guardians about the nature and risks of concussions. Additionally, it will require all participating coaches and officials to receive initial online training on the nature and risks of concussions. The training must be repeated every three years.
ALL COACHES WILL RECEIVE CONCUSSION EDUCATION AND GUIDELINES IN THEIR MANDATORY CEP ON LINE MODULES THIS FALL.
