COACHING CLINIC SCHEDULE

NOTE: For 2007/2008 , the Region will hold THREE pre-season Coaches meetings and IMPACT clinics (more than likely, we will have at least one more IMPACT once we determine if there is a need for another - check back for updates). With our numbers, it has become increasingly more difficult to get everyone in one site. The good news is this gives clubs/teams/coaches more options. All clubs/teams must have at least one rep at one of the meetings in order to gather the season information. All coaches that need to be IMPACT certified may choose the meeting/clinic that they wish to attend. A minimum of IMPACT certification is required in order to coach (this applies to Head and Assistant Coaches) in the Region but once you are certified you do not need to attend again unless you want updated information or to meet the continuing education requirement. The Carolina Region has a continuing education requirement - once IMPACT or CAP certified, a coach must attend annually an education based coaching clinic to show dedication to their profession and the kids they will impact. Coaches that are already IMPACT or CAP certified may attend the meeting and then attend the gym session of the IMPACT clinic to meet their annual continuing education/clinic requirement (or attend any other clinic, convention, or course as desired). Proof of attendance should be sent to region office and prior approval of courses may be obtained from Region Staff - events that have been approved in past and do not need prior approval are: any CAP clinic, Gold Medal Coaching Clinics, the AVCA Convention, or a NCHSAA pre-season coaching clinic.

REMINDER - Coaches will not be added to a Team's Tournament Roster until they are IMPACT/CAP certified and pass the Background Screen. So all coaches must be IMPACT certified before their team's FIRST tournament!
