Coaching Certification

Coaching Certification

The New York State Education Department provides certification guidelines for coaching. These guidelines are followed by school districts to ensure the safety and well-being of the student athletes. If you are interested in coaching at the inter-scholastic level the following documents will assist you in this process.

For your convenience the Susquehanna Valley Athletic Department has developed a checklist for the teacher coaching certification process and non-teacher coaching certification process.
