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.

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.

If you have questions specific to the FlexxCoach program, please read the above page first. If you have additional questions, contact FlexxCoach directly at 888-396-5044, Monday-Friday from 8 am to 5 pm Mountain time.
