IMPACT


IMPACT (Increased Mastery and Professional Application of Coaching Theory) is the entry level coaching certification required by USA Volleyball.

Why IMPACT Certification?
All coaches are required to complete their IMPACT training course and become IMPACT Certified. This requirement helps cover liability issues for the Regions, Junior Clubs, Junior Teams and Junior Coaches.


Once IMPACT certified, the certification remains on your membership from year to year in Iowa. Currently, there is no recertification process...it follows your renewal automatically. If you have IMPACT, you won't need to do it again.
All coaches, regardless of their age (juniors who are also coaching or adults) or role (assistants, volunteers, head coaches) need to be IMPACT certified.

IMPACT certification MUST be completed before first contact....practices or competition.

To become IMPACT certified you must take the On-Demand through USA Volleyball. It is approximately 4 hours in length and is FREE to USA members.  Your IMPACT training will be automatically added to your USAV Academy account.


To access the Academy you will need to log into your SportsEngine profile, click on household, click on your profile card, click on "view details" under the current season's membership, and then click on the RED USAV Academy button in the upper right hand corner.
