American Youth Football and Cheer has partnered with leading coaching education provider American Sport Education Program (ASEP) to develop and deliver new coaching education courses for youth football and cheer coaches. These courses are aimed at improving coaching and fostering a positive sport experience for participants at the youth level.
The organizations have collaborated on the development of the following online courses:
Coaching Youth Football: The AYF Way
Coaching Youth Cheerleading: The AYC Way
Due to today’s safety concerns for our AYF youth, all AYF football and cheer coaches are strongly advised to complete the online course for the sport they coach. The course includes $2 million extra liability coverage—this is twice the amount offered by our competition! All tournament team coaches should be aware that a course completion certificate will be one of the items on the registration checklist for the AYF National Championships.
Coaches pass the course by achieving a score of 80% or better. Those who successfully complete the course can print a certificate of course completion from the Web site. Certification is valid for one year. Coaches will need to recertify to continue the liability coverage.
