Certification
In order to work with a USAV Juniors team, you should be at least IMPACT certified.  NTR usually offers a couple of courses at the beginning of the season and one or two during the season.  Sometimes Qualifiers will also offer them before the tournament.  Check out USAV's education section to learn more about USAV's IMPACT and CAP programs.  You can also check out our NTR Clinic Schedules.

Finding a Club Team
Browse our site and get to know some of the clubs within the North Texas Region.  Visit the club sites learn a little more about them.  If you have driving distance restrictions, find out where the club practices and how often.  We have clubs all the way from Abilene to East Texas!  Clubs start filling coaching vacancies as early as July and as late as November.   Sometimes they are even looking for coaches during the season to help out or to fill in for someone. We have a Coaches Wanted section you may want to visit.

Determine Your Goals and Expectations
What do you want to do as a coach? 
    • Work with underprivileged kids?
    • Work with the best athletes?
    • Teach kids how to enjoy volleyball no matter what their skill level?
    • Work only with younger teams?   only with older teams?

    Don't worry if you don't know exactly what you want to do right now.  Once you get into the coaching world, you will start to refine your goals.
