NOTE: ALL COACHES MUST BE IMPACT CERTIFIED PRIOR TO COACHING!

Florida Region of USA Volleyball - Education/Coaching Certification Policy:

The Florida Region requires that all coaches are either IMPACT or CAP certified before they begin working with players in practice or tournaments. Coaches who are hired/retained before their club season begins must be IMPACT or CAP certified before any coaching of players can begin. If coaches are hired/retained mid-season due to extenuating circumstances, they must be IMPACT or CAP certified that season if they are hired prior to the last clinic offered in the region. If a coach is hired/retained after the last clinic offered by the region, then they must be IMPACT or CAP certified before their first contact with players the following season.

Overview of IMPACT

IMPACT is an entry-level coaching requirement of both USAV and the 40 regional volleyball associations. Individuals who wish to enter into coaching must complete the IMPACT entry-level instruction before the start of the season 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.

The IMPACT Program
