U.S. Ski & Snowboard Coach Certification Update *
Remember that all U.S. Ski & Snowboard Member Coaches (in all ski and snowboard disciplines) must be in progress towards obtaining their L100 Coach Certification starting with the 2024-25 season.
The structure of Level 100 is changing from what it has been in seasons past:
- Moving forward, the existing Membership requirements of SafeSport training, Background Check, and Intro to Avalanches will remain in place.
- There will also be a new requirement: submission of a current First Aid/CPR certificate and proof of completion of a concussion training (like CDC's HEADS UP or NFHS Concussion in Sports, which only needs to be done once). Completion of these requirements will bring a "Coach w/Official" membership to "Current" status.
- The online Coaching Fundamentals course will be broken up into a series of shorter modules and moved exclusively into the L100 curriculum - this is no longer a free-standing "Membership" requirement. Once coaches have started this step, their Member Profile and Card will indicate "Coach Certification: In Progress" and they will receive their Personalized Coaching Bibs. In-Progress coaches will have one year to complete the L100 online coursework and one year to perform the In-Person Assessment Component of L100. Once a coach has performed the assessment, they will move from "Coach Certification: In Progress" to "Coach Certification: L100 Active" status.
If an L100 coach does not complete their in-person assessment within two calendar years of their registration- they will be moved to "Coach Certification: Expired" status until the in-person component is completed. This will not impact their membership standing, but it will impact their ability to register for U.S. Ski & Snowboard sanctioned competitions as a Coach.

Earn 10 Continuing Ed Credits
To keep your coaching certification active, you must complete the continuing education requirement before your certification expires. Coaches are responsible for tracking and submitting their Continuing Ed credits through their account on the U.S. Ski & Snowboard Sport Education Academy.
All U.S. Ski & Snowboard Coach Members are required to obtain (10) continuing education credits each year in order to maintain an "Active" Coach Certification status, where 1 credit is equal to 30 minutes of educational activity, for a total of 5 hours annually.
The countdown for continuing education credit submission begins on the day a coach enrolls in the Sport Education Academy for a given season, at which point they have until June 30th of that season to obtain their required credits.
