INFORMATION FOR COACHES

NEW NFHS/ASAA Coaches Education Program Now Available
The Board of Directors has adopted the Alaska Coaches Education Program for all high school level coaches who actually supervise students including coaches of all outsourced teams. (See Article 10, Sections 1-2-3 of the ASAA handbook.) The Alaska Coaches Education Program consists of the NFHS Coaching Fundamentals course, American Red Cross Sports Safety Course and the ASAA component.

To begin taking the ASAA Online Coaches Education program, click this link: nfhslearn.com or on the NFHS banner at right.

COURSE COSTS ARE:
NFHS Coaching Fundamental Course & ASAA Component = $60
American Red Cross Sports Safety Course = $45
Each coach will pay by credit card through a secure site.

Coaches who believe that they have completed an equivalent certification program such as the ASEP courses (Coaching Principles and Sport First Aid),may submit certificates directly to ASAA for review in order to determine whether that alternate program may be substituted for the NFHS requirement. When an alternate program is approved, the coach will still be required to successfully complete the Alaska Component. Please contact the ASAA office to arrange for the ASAA test and text to be sent to you for completion. Course cost is $25.

Call 907-563-3723 or email: contactus@asaa.org

Information regarding a blended version of the Fundamentals Course will be sent to member school principals and athletic directors in the coming months. Note: The ARC Sports Safety Course is only available as an online course.
