When does my current certification level expire

Coaching certification levels are valid for three years; however, you must be certified for the level of play you are currently coaching.

NOTE: USA Hockey establishes the maximum duration of certification. Each District and/or Affiliate may establish tougher standards. Check your District/Affiliate website for further information.

If you received your card prior to the current 2005/06 season, your certification level sticker does not contain an expiration date. Please check the following chart for expiration dates:

Season Certification Received/Year Certification Expires
2002/03 Dec. 31, 2005
2003/04 Dec. 31, 2006
2004/05 Dec. 31, 2007
2005/06 Dec. 31, 2008

If you are Level 1 or Level 2 coach, you must move up to the next Level and attend a clinic BEFORE the expiration date to remain a current coach.

If you are a Level 3 coach, you must attend another Level 3 clinic, move up and attend a Level 4 clinic, or complete the online recertification program through FlexxCoach BEFORE the expiration date to remain a current coach. All of the FlexxCoach information can be found here: /coaching/level_3/main/level_3/flexxcoach/
