What Level of Coaching Certification do I need?

Check the table below for requirements for Head and Assistant Coaches.

Grandfathering - If you were a registered coach as of June 30, 2000, and do not have Initiation Clinic certification, you do NOT need to attend such Clinic.

Continuing Education Requirement
All coaches below Level 4 shall progress through the Coaching Education Program, attending a coaching clinic at least once every three years through Level 3.  After a coach has completed Level 3, the coach shall do one of the following within three years to maintain certification:  attend another Level 3 clinic, take a USA Hockey Continuing Education Course (i.e. attend a High Performance Workshop, complete the online Level 3 Recertification program) or attend a Level 4 clinic as per the Coaching Education Program Requirement chart.  Once Level 4 is achieved, there is no further requirement for recertification.

If a coach’s certification below Level 4 was received more than 3 years from the current season, the card is rendered invalid/expired.  Level 1 or 2 coaches must attend a clinic at the next level and Level 3 coaches must choose one of the certification options in order to reactivate their status.  (Coaches are not required to start over at Level 1 but can attend a clinic at the next certification level.)

Deadline - Coaches must be properly certified by December 31.  Any coach who has not been properly certified will be removed from the team roster on January 1 and can no longer be on the ice for practice or bench for games.

Coaches - The MHA will reimburse your Clinic Registration Fee at the MAHA rate of:
$25 - Level 1;  $35 - Level 2;  $45 - Level 3.  To be reimbursed, submit your Registration Form to Bob Hayden.  Note:  If you attend a USA Hockey Coaching Clinic outside of Michigan, you will be reimbursed at the MAHA rate.
We will also reimburse on-line recertification clinics ($55).

On-line registration is REQUIRED through the USA Hockey website.

Attendees must be there from start to finish in order to receive Clinic credit and credentials (Coaching card, sticker, and USA Hockey database update).
Clinics start at 8:00 a.m. (registration begins at 7:30 a.m.).

PLEASE TRY TO ATTEND DISTRICT 2 SEMINARS

Check the MAHA website for registration rules and specific Clinic information.
