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

The Florida Region requires that all coaches be either IMPACT or CAP certified before they begin working with players in practice or tournaments. The Florida Region offers FREE IMPACT clinics at various times throughout the year for USAV coaches that live in Florida. To become certified, a coach may attend a FREE IMPACT clinic in Florida (see EDUCATION SCHEDULE page on www.FloridaVolleyball.org) or participate in one of the USAV IMPACT Webinars offered online at www.usavolleyball.org. Only coaches who have completed the IMPACT clinic may be added to a USAV junior roster.

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
