Coach Training Information
 Please remember that STYSA requires that all coaches obtain a minimum coaching certificate within one year of becoming a teams head coach. Failure to do so will result in that person not being allowed to coach the team. STYSA Rule 3.1.16: Registered Coach, states that “an individual wishing to coach must successfully complete an age appropriate module license course (Under 6/8; Under 10/12) the appropriate license level course (E or D) or receive approval from the STYSA Director of Coaching for equivalent licensure…within one year after the date the individual begins to coach. Only registered, eligible coaches are allowed to participate in STYSA sanctioned events.”
A list of all clinics in the South Texas area is posted on the STYSA web site.
Also see the information at the STYSA web site regarding the different levels of training available and their prerequisites.
STYSA also has a lending library of books and video tapes.
