USAV Florida Region - Education/IMPACT Policy

IMPACT is an entry-level coaching requirement of both USAV and the 39 regional volleyball associations. Individuals who wish to enter into coaching must complete the IMPACT entry-level instruction before the start of the season or when it becomes available to them in the region in which they reside. Coaches may not waive this requirement nor finish a season without such certification. The regions are responsible to keep accurate records of those qualified to coach. If an individual is found negligent of certification, that individual must be immediately replaced with a qualified person. Violations of this requirement may include probation, suspension, fine, or whatever disciplinary action is deemed appropriate by the authorized person, persons, boards, or committee of the Florida Region. Appeals may be made in accordance with procedures set forth in the bylaws and operating code of the Florida Region.

The Florida Region is dedicated to helping its coaches become quality instructors and mentors. The Florida Region provides IMPACT certification free of charge* as well as contribue $100 towards any CAP Course if the coach is a registered with the Florida Region.
