 LIVE ON-SITE CLINIC OPTION
(Through a local NAYS Chapter)
Volunteer coaches who are interested in becoming initial members start by taking a 3-hour training course called a "clinic." Clinics are offered at specific times by local NYSCA chapters, which are local organizations who have agreed to offer the program in your community. For instance, Parks & Recreation Departments, Boys & Girls Clubs, Police Athletic Leagues and YMCAs are NYSCA chapters. Over 3,000 chapters exist among organizations in all 50 states and on U.S. military bases internationally. The membership fee is $20.

ONLINE CLINIC OPTION
Coaches may choose to participate in the NYSCA training course (or "clinic") using the NYSCA Online Clinics. This program allows coaches to access the same training as on-site participants from their home or office PC. The Online Clinics also offer several features that are not available through the on-site clinics, including realistic graphics to illustrate lessons, exclusive printable materials, and 24-hour-a-day access to the program. The fee for a one-year Membership through the Online Clinics is $25. In addition, current NYSCA Members may access the Online Clinics after completing the Initial Level Membership requirements, and add other sport specific clinics to their membership. The fee for each additional sport specific clinic is $5. Click here to register or to learn more about the NYSCA Online Clinics.

WHAT COACHES WILL LEARN
Both the live on-site and online clinics consist of the same basic format. The first part of an NYSCA clinic is to view the Introduction to Coaching Youth Sports video, which is a general training video for all coaches. Coaches then view a sports-specific video.
The Introduction to Coaching Youth Sports video covers topics such as:
Psychology of Coaching Youth Sports
Working with Kids with Special Challenges
Tips on Teaching and Communication
Parents as Partners
Child Abuse in Youth Sports
Injury Prevention
Hydration
At the end of each NYSCA clinic, coaches must (1) pass an exam that tests their understanding of the information conveyed in the clinic and (2) sign a pledge committing them to uphold a Code of Ethics. NYSCA holds coaches fully accountable to the standards set by the Code.
Coaches who undertake the initial clinic are eligible to obtain continuing membership by simply renewing their membership each year.
