Athletic Coaching Download to print

The "National Standards for Athletic Coaches," published by the National association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE), serves as the guiding basis for the proposed program of study. NASPE identifies coaching competencies organized into "standards," which are placed within 8 domains. These domains are:

• Philosophy and Ethics
• Safety and Injury Prevention
• Physical Conditioning
• Growth and Development
• Teaching and Communication
• Sport Skills and Tactics
• Organization and Administration
• Evaluation

Courses and experiences representing each of the 8 NASPE Coaching Standards domains have been identified. An internship completes the minor as a capstone experience. Students must also get American Red Cross 1st Aid and CPR certification to successfully complete the minor.
