The mission of USA Volleyball Coach Education is to provide a variety of educational and training opportunities to all volleyball coaches. Our goal is to offer a variety of in-person and online methods to deliver the content and foster interaction and engagement of coaches.
USA Volleyball member coaches are required to complete the following to participate in sanctioned events:
These requirements can be met through the membership registration process in the USA Volleyball Member Management System (SportsEngine).
IMPACT ON-DEMAND
The indoor IMPACT course is required for all USA Volleyball junior club coaches. IMPACT is the minimum level coach education requirement for USAV in order to coach a junior club. Currently, USA Volleyball’s national office does not require a renewal of this course, but the coach’s region or club may decide to require a renewal or have more stringent requirements.
IMPACT is available on-demand through USAV Academy, accessed through your SportsEngine account (instructions). IMPACT is free for USA Volleyball members. IMPACT does not include SafeSport, which is taken separately.
The course is approximately four hours and designed for you to stop and restart. A USAV IMPACT manual in e-book and PDF formats are included with your course registration.
SAFESPORT
SafeSport training must be completed prior to interacting with athletes. The content of this SafeSport training was developed and is maintained by the U.S. Center for SafeSport, which retains individual course completion records.
Note: SafeSport training is free for USA Volleyball members who take the training through their SportsEngine account. Completing this training through your account automatically updates your USAV member record.
