USA Hockey and the Coaching Education Program require both certification and registration to be eligible to coach. Registration is done online on a yearly basis. Certification is also required. A few basic steps requirements are as follows:
USA Hockey Requirements (Must be completed before participating in any team activities)
Complete Concussion Certification (no cost). This part is now State Law! The form and training information can be found in the coaches registration and below. Please return all forms to your association. (Certification is good for 2 years) https://www.cdc.gov/headsup/youthsports/coach.html
Coaching Education Program Certification Clinic Requirements (Must be completed by Dec. 31, 2023)
You can only obtain one CEP level per year, and you must start at level 1 and progress your way annually through the levels if you continue to coach every year. Registration through USA Hockey must be done every year in conjunction with the CEP Courses. Exception is for Mite/Mini-Mite/8U/6U - as long as you're at least level 1 certified you do not need to advance to level 2 until you coach a travel aged team, but you still need to register with USA Hockey as a coach.
