  • Cheer Concussion and Heat Illness Prevention Certification is required every year. For cheer coaching, please visit: http://www.nfhslearn.com/index.aspx Here you will find the concussion course and heat illness prevention course which the league requires.  You will need to register with the NFHS to obtain a login.  Then you will need to add the courses to your cart and proceed through the checkout process.  You will not be charged.  After checkout you will be able to look in your “active courses” tab to begin the course.  Upon completion of the courses you will receive a certification.  Please print the certifications and submit them to the league.
  • Football coaches will complete their certification through USA Football.

Please be sure to complete these requirements ASAP.  It is for the protection of you, the league, and the players.  All required documents should be uploaded to your coach profile in TeamSnap (once rostered onto a team).
