- Preferably coaches and assistant coaches should be certified before their first practices.

- High School coaching certifications will NOT be accepted to fulfill this requirement.
- If you have attended a clinic in past years, this will meet the requirement.
Iowa Region IMPACT Webinars
The Region will be setting up free classroom IMPACT clinics for the 2012/13 season as the high school season winds down. Please check this page regularly for updates. The region classes will be around four hours in length.
Iowa Region Webinars will time the computer use, questions and polls will be asked during the clinic to ensure that all attendees are really at their computers. We will not give certification if there is any doubt on attendance stats issued by the webinar computer service.
USAV does offers Webinar IMPACT classes for ~$50. The webinar classes are often scheduled for two hours on two dates.
