Coaches may only take one level course per season. Once you achieve level 4 or level 5, renewals are not required. Courses must be completed by 12/31 to remain active for the coaching season. Should you fail to schedule the appropriate course and your CEP expires, you will be prohibited from coaching, no exceptions. CLICK HERE FOR COURSE LISTING
