Coaches (and Team Staff) - Why do I have to do this Training?

The following was borrowed from a recent Amateur Hockey Association Illinois (AHAI) newsletter:
 
"USA Hockey and the Coaching Education Program (CEP) require: USA Hockey Registration, Screening, SafeSport Training, Age Specific Module completion and the appropriate Level CEP clinic to be eligible to coach. Why?
 
The answer is rather simple; the kids deserve it. What do I mean by that? As parents, you turn your children over to their coaches for several hours a week. After parents and teachers, your kids spend more time with coaches than probably anyone else during the season. USA Hockey and AHAI want that experience to be the best and safest it can be. Only properly educated coaches can help in the development of your skaters both on and off the ice. Coaches have a massive responsibility. Most of us remember our coaches; both the good and the bad. The effect they have on players can be immense and with that comes great responsibility.
  • Coaching Education Program (CEP) Online Age-Specific Requirements (Must be completed PRIOR to participating in any team activities and cannot be added to a roster until completed)
  • USA Hockey Requirements: Register as a member of USA Hockey, complete background screening and complete USAH SafeSport Training (Must be completed PRIOR to participating in any team activities and cannot be added to a roster until completed)

Website HELP for Managers

Below are two links - one to a PDF Guide and the other to Sport ENGINE Team Management website.

REMINDER: You may update the personnel (add uniform numbers, pictures if your parents have agreed, positions) added to your ROSTER but you MAY NOT add or delete coaches, team staff, managers, players or alternates. This may only be done by the REGISTRAR (contact at registrar@wyha.com) as the staff/player must be registered before added to your team roster.  This rule is in place to avoid ANY team from being disqualified (or worse) for using ineligible players!
