Why take a coaching minor?
Athletics can have far-reaching effects physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually in the lives of young people. Responsible coaches are educated and prepared to contribute to the positive influence sport has on athletes and society. The experience gained form participation in athletics is strongly influenced by the qualification and competencies of the coach. With the coaching minor, we strive to achieve educational goals beyond X and O’s. It is important for potential coaches to be trained to work with young adults within a framework of ethical philosophy, practices and procedures. In a nutshell, the classes will prepare you to become a better coach!
Where will it prepare me to coach?

With the coaching minor you will obtain American Sport Education Program certification. This certification allows you to coach in schools without a teaching certificate.
