All of our coaches are NYSCA certified coaches as part of a City of Clearwater partnership program. What does it mean to be NYSCA certified?
 Being an NYSCA certified coach does not indicate you are qualified in the sense of a paid coach on the high school, college or professional level. By virtue of attending the NYSCA Training/Certification Program conducted by a qualified Clinician, NYSCA Headquarters certifies that you have been trained in your responsibilities to children. Specifically:
-
Responsible for being aware of the pyschological and emotional needs of children participating in sports.
-
Responsibility for knowing safety and first-aid care are the most important factors in the well-being of children that at all times a person of authority (physician, paramedics, etc.) should be called to treat any kind of injury.
-
Responsibility for being aware that conditioning, nutrition, flexibility, and strength development are important factors in children playing sports.
-
Responsibility that to the best of your ability you will teach the proper sports techniques.
-
Finally, by signing the NYSCA Coaches' Code of Ethics Pledge, you are reminded that in youth sports the consideration of the children should be placed above all and that as an NYSCA volunteer coach you are held accountable to a Code of Conduct. |
