The Carolina Region has updated its Coaching Education Policy.  It states: The Carolina Region believes that every player deserves a coach trained in the current techniques and safety issues of the sport. All Head and Assistant Coaches are required to have, at a minimum, current IMPACT certification in order to coach in the Region. An IMPACT certification now grants three seasons of coaching eligibility in the Carolina Region. Although USAV IMPACT certification does not expire, the Region believes it is important for coaches to stay current in the field.  Attending an IMPACT clinic or other approved NTDP Coaching Clinic at any time will extend a coach’s eligibility for another three seasons. NOTE:  USA Volleyball has developed a new Coaching Academy.  The Region will be providing discounts for Carolina Region coaches to access this training.  Taking USAV Coaching Academy courses will count towards Carolina Region Continuing education extensions.
