!!!!!ATTENTION NEW DEADLINE!!!!!
Coaches Chair Update 10/16/18

The USATF Nebraska Association Coaches Chair is pleased to announce that the Nebraska Association has applied for and was awarded a Grant from the USATF National Office. The purpose of this grant is to promote coaching education within the Nebraska Association. This grant will allow the Association to reimburse 30 coaches who complete the online developmental coaching credential through the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS). https://nfhslearn.com/courses/20000/coaching-track-and-field

Coaches in the Nebraska Association, who complete the (NFHS) developmental coaching online course between the dates of January 1, 2018 and December 1, 2018, can submit their proof of completion (certificate) for consideration.

These funds will allow us to help teams and coaches get a jump on the upcoming changes/requirements to the USATF Coaches Registry scheduled to be enforced for the 2019 season. Additional information about the 2019 Coaches Registry requirements including the New Education Standard can be found at the following link http://www.usatf.org/Resources-for—/Coaches.aspx

Minimum Eligibility Requirements:

The USATF Nebraska Association Board will review and award $65 per coach towards (NFHS) certification, giving preference to new coaches starting/creating Nebraska Association Clubs. A further preference, will be given to coaches from clubs that are outside of the Omaha/Lincoln areas, in an effort to encourage membership growth across the state.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THIS GRANT IS ONLY FOR THE ONLINE DEVELOPMENTAL COACHING CREDENTIAL AT (NFHS) DURING THE ABOVE TIME FRAME.

Please submit the following information to me by email or in person on or before 12/1/18 for consideration by the board:
