COACHES' CORNER - Coaching Requirements

The Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) requires ALL coaches to have ALL certifications current prior to the beginning of the season and valid throughout all seasons during the sport season EACH YEAR.

1. National Federation of High Schools (NFHS) Fundamentals of Coaching

This is an on-line class that takes up to 6 hours to complete. You do not need to do it all in one sitting. It only needs to be done ONCE IN YOUR COACHING CAREER. There is a cost of $50 to take the course. If you were certified through ASEP prior to 2007, you can be “grandfathered” in and exempt from taking the course.
