COACHING & VOLUNTEER REQUIREMENTS FOR THE 2024-2025 HOCKEY SEASON
The KC Saints would like to thank our dedicated coaches and volunteers who keep our sport going! If you plan on Coaching or Volunteering this upcoming season, please register yourself using the below link so our Clubs know you're interested in helping and we can start the certification process.
General Rule
Coaches need current SafeSport, Background Check, Age Appropriate Modules and CEP Clinics. The first three are required before getting on the ice.
Volunteers need current SafeSport and Background Check before assuming any team roles.
Certification Steps for Coaches and Volunteers
Step 1. Register online with USA Hockey and get your yearly membership #. Must be done each year. COACHES - Check that you are coaching in KANSAS, Midwest Amateur Hockey Association (not Missouri Hockey) even if you live in the state of Missouri. VOLUNTEERS - Will be routed automatically by State. If you're an adult league player you can use the same USA Hockey membership # for coaching.

Step 3. Background check. Background screens are good for 2 years. The background system will not let someone process a screen if they have a current one. Background checks take 10-14 days or more to process.

Step 4. Take online SafeSport Training. Must be done every year. All Coaches, Team Managers, Volunteers, Locker Room Monitors, Board Members, anyone with routine access to players. Your SafeSport Certificate has an expiration date and is only good for one year from date taken. New Coaches need to complete the Core module, then Refreshers are offered for 3 years.

Step 5. FOR COACHES ONLY - Complete Age Specific Module for the levels you are coaching. Once you've completed a module you do not have to take it again. Age modules have been consolidated. The new Age module classifications are 8&Under, 12&Under, 13&Over.

Step 6. FOR COACHES ONLY - USA Hockey Coaching Education Program Level 1, 2, 3, 4 if needed. If your current CEP Level expires this December you will need to take the next Level unless you are only coaching U8. We will not be holding any local in-person clinics this season. Please complete your clinic virtually online. Coaches advance one level each year unless you are only coaching U8, then you can stay at Level 1 or current level. CEP clinics must be completed by December 31st. But don't wait, the virtual clinics fill fast. - **Virtual Clinics are already available.

New Hockey League 7/9/15 KANSAS CITY YOUTH HOCKEY ASSOCIATION The Kansas City Youth Hockey Association was established in July 2015 by merging six area associations into one governing body, KCYHA. The joint effort will bring a sharper focus on skill development, greater promotion of the sport to KC and surrounding areas, and more opportunities to take KC youth hockey to a higher level.
