USASF Membership

At the Credentialing Session

Pre-registration is REQUIRED All coaches interested in being credentialed at a Regional Meeting must pre-register, by completing the items listed below.

Preparation (Prior to Credentialing Session) Prior to attending the conference, each coach should:.

1) Credentialing Registration Form (Only one per program is needed for this form). Please complete and fax in this form, located on page 9 at least 10 days prior to secure an appointment time during the Regional Meeting you are attending. 2) General Information Sheet This can be found on page 10 of this packet. Please complete and bring with you to your hands on appointment. 3) Practical Field Experience Validation Form This form must be complete and signed by the gym owner/all-star director at your gym. If you are the gym owner/all-star director, you may verify for yourself that you have coached the required hours to move on to the higher levels of credentialing. The coach also signs this form at the very bottom. This form can be found on page 11 of this packet. 4) Test Questions All of the test questions can be accessed from web site, through your gym member profile. If you have any questions about this log in and password, please speak Angela Jones in the USASF office at (901) 251-5914 or v i a e-mail at [email protected]. 5) Answer Sheet for your responses to the Written Tests

Everyone needs to complete the current written test, for all skill levels they are credentialing or re-credentialing through. These answer sheets are provided on page 12 and 13 of this packet.

Additional Information If you have any further questions about this process.

Credentialing is open to members of the USASF. If you are a current member of the USASF you will need to verify that your membership is current (you have paid your membership fee). If you are not current you will need to renew your membership. This can be done by logging on to your user profile, which is located at www.usasf.net. The log in area is located in the top right hand corner of the home page. If you do not know your user name and/or password you will need to contact Angela Jones, at (901) 251-5914 or via e-mail at [email protected].

If you are NOT a member of the USASF you will need to visit USASF.net and under the MEMBERS tab click Join the USASF. You will choose either GYM membership or COACH membership. If a GYM is a member of the USASF, all the coaches that work at that gym are also considered members and do not need to join as coach members as well. If you do not work for a USASF member gym you will need to join the USASF as a COACH member to be eligible to participate in the Coach Credentialing program.

You will be meeting one-on-one with an instructor who will ask you a series of skill related questions to evaluate your proficiency in teaching such skills following industry standards for technique and safety. You will also be asked to discuss safety, progression philosophy and emergency procedures. It is recommended that you only register for the skill sets and levels which you are truly qualified to coach.

The Credentialing Program is a means by which the instructor evaluates your ability to coach at specific levels and then signs off on the skills which you currently possess, and not a means for preparing to coach higher levels. Educational opportunities such as coaches’ conferences and practical experience in the gym working under a mentor/head coach, who has already demonstrated their proficiency, are the best ways to get the education you need to receive your credentials.
