Coaching Education policy on Waivers
Many leagues and associations throughout the state have begun to develop standards and requirements for coaching at different levels. The following is an explanation of the waiver policy and how to obtain consideration for a waiver:
What is a waiver? Depending upon the level of practical experience of playing and coaching it is possible to enroll in the state D coaching license course, with a waiver granted by the state’s Director of Coaching, beyond the entry level E course. Obtaining a waiver does not grant an individual a license. It merely determines where the individual coach will begin in the coaching education programs.
Procedure:
- Fill out Wavier form and include paper work and information to support your request.
- Mail the form to MSYSA, 221 5th Ave. SE, Glen Burnie, Md 21061. Attention Director of Coaching. Request needs to be received two week before the scheduled start date of the course.
