With an attempt to meet the coaching education demands of all our volunteer coaches, USA Hockey provides a comprehensive Coaching Education Program. Since 1974 the Coaching Education Program has been evolving on an ongoing basis, and during that time USA Hockey has concluded the following: 1. Quality coaching is the single most important factor in the development of our athletes as well as the sport itself. 2. The experience a player will gain through participation in ice hockey is directly influenced by the coaches’ qualifications as well as their coaching education background. 3. The curriculum, materials, and manuals of the coaching education program must be kept simple, practical, age specific, and user friendly. It is also the intent of USA Hockey that, through a comprehensive but practical educational system, the organization will meet the educational needs of our volunteer coaches. This manual represents a part of the new direction which will take USA Hockey’s coaching program into the 21st century. Although this manual represents something new in the coaching education program, it also contains general coaching effectiveness methods and ice hockey specific material from USA Hockey’s first manual Fundamentals of Coaching Youth Ice Hockey, which has been updated and revised so that it may be incorporated into this manual. Therefore, gratitude is extended to Dr. Vern Seefeldt, Paul Vogel, Keith Blase, Lou Vairo, Dave Peterson, Ken Johannson, as well as other authors involved in the first Associate Level Manual. Sincere appreciation is also extended to the many people who contributed to this publication. Also, a special thanks to USA Hockey’s Coaching Section, Youth Council, Legal Council and the Curriculum Committee. Finally, I would like to thank Val Belmonte (former Director, Coaching Education Program) for his vision and hard work that he put forth in the Coaching Education Program. Through his direction, USA Hockey’s Coaching Education Program became the leader in educating and training coaches in youth sports. Thanks for all of your support! As you read through the USA Hockey coaching materials, remember, create a fun and positive environment and allow the players to be creative and enjoy our wonderful sport.
