INDIANAPOLIS, IN (November 16 2009) - The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) has launched a national certification program for interscholastic coaches with the Level 1 Accredited Interscholastic Coach certificate.
To become certified by the NFHS, a coach must take three required professional development courses online - Fundamentals of Coaching, First Aid for Coaches or its equivalent and a sport-specific course or Teaching Sport Skills - and complete an application online at www.nfhslearn.com. The cost of Level I certification is $50.
Editor's note: We know that this is the busiest time for the National Federation, and they keep everyone abreast of their work. As a daily source of sports officiating information, we believe in getting the news out .
We know that a goodly number of our subscribers are (gasp!) coaches. We're sure the NFHS will slow down as we approach the holidays, which means we'll certainly get back to our "two-a-days" soon.
