New Coaching Education Program (CEP) Requirements for 2011-12

  • All coaches must have the required certification Level by roster sign-off of the current season. If not in compliance that coach will NOT be allowed to coach for the remainder of the season.
  • All new coaches must enter USA Hockey's CEP Program at Level 1, and must continue their education each year until, at a minimum they achieve Level 3. Once level 3 is reached, periodic renewal (see attached document) is required for coaches who do not achieve Level 4 status.
  • Coaches can only complete on Level Certification Class per year.
  • coaches who obtain Level 4 status are not required to attend any further certification clinics but must adhere to the age-specific requirement training modules.
  • All coaches must complete online age-specific training modules specific to the level of play they are coaching. If you are coaching a mite and a bantam team you would have to complete both. Once you complete a module you will not have to take it again in the follwoing years if you stay at that level.
  • Coaches may complete more than one age specific module in one season and can complete these prior to taking the Level Certification Class.
  • Review the Grandfather clause in the attached document.

Student Coaches

Attention ALL WBLAHA Coaches:

WBLAHA supports the use of student coaches on our youth teams.  However, there are USA Hockey guidelines in place :

  •  A Student Coach must be between the ages of 13 - 17 years old and currently registered through USA Hockey.
  • Student Coaches may only work with players at least ONE full playing age level down (i.e. a Peewee age player may be a Student Coach at the Squirt or Mite level.) 
  • Must complete the USA Hockey Student Coach Information FORM.   

If you are interested in having a Student Coach on your team, please submit the required FORM with the required signatures to Christine Olson so the paperwork can be processed and the student coach can be added to your teams roster.
