Certification Requirements for Juniors' Coaches

IMPACT is an entry-level coaching requirement of both USAV and the 40 regional volleyball associations. Individuals who wish to coach a boys' or girls' club team must be IMPACT, IMPACT Plus, or CAP (level 1, 2, or 3) certified. No coach may coach in matches until the minimum certification is received. The regions are responsible to keep accurate records of those qualified to coach. If an individual is found negligent of certification, that individual must be immediately replaced with a qualified person. Violations of this requirement may include probation, suspension, fine, or whatever disciplinary action is deemed appropriate by the authorized person, persons, boards, or committees of the OVR. Appeals may be made in accordance with procedures set forth in the bylaws and operating code of the OVR. There are no waivers for lack of certification.

The IMPACT Program

IMPACT, an acronym for Increased Mastery and Professional Application of Coaching Theory, is a 4-hour course for the new club coach. Emphasis is on drill development, principals of learning skills, resources, and ethics.

All IMPACT clinics will be 4 hours in length. This time frame is necessary to cover all the required information and adequately explain the various topics covered in the course. IMPACT Plus clinics, which are a 6 hours in length, must be held in gyms to allow for on-court practice.

Certifications from Non-OVR Clinics

Any and all certifications received from USA Volleyball as well as IMPACT certifications received in other regions of USA Volleyball will be honored by the Ohio Valley Region. In order for these certifications to be recognized by the OVR, copies of these certifications must be sent to the OVR Director of Coaching Education (impact@ovr.org or Don Burroughs, 426 South Walnut St, New Bremen, OH 45869) along with the New/Replacement Coaching Certification Form.

IMPACT Clinics in the OVR

Additional IMPACT clinics for the 2008-2009 season will be posted as details are confirmed. Online, advance registration will be required for all IMPACT clinics to ensure productive class sizes and sufficient materials. Participants are required to register a minimum of 7 days prior to the clinic they wish to attend to receive the $40 early registration fee. Any registrations received within 6 days, including on-site, will pay $60.

In order to be officially certified, participants must be present for the entire clinic and pay their fees on site. As of August 2007, any participant who does not pay their fees by the end of the clinic will be subject to an additional $10 late fee. Please note that until the fees are received, the participant is not certified CERTIFIED even though they attended a clinic. Only when both the attendance and fee requirements are met is the participant recognized as being IMPACT or IMPACT Plus certified.

Online registration (see below) is required to allow for planning facilities and printing manuals. The fee for each IMPACT clinic is $40 for registrations made up to 7 days prior to the clinic, or $60 for registrations made within 7 days of the clinic or on site. For example, registrations for the December 6 clinic must be submitted no later than November 29 to be eligible for the $40 rate. Fees will be collected on-site prior to each clinic. A $25 fee will be charged for each check that fails to clear.

You may not register for more than one IMPACT clinic. If you must remove your name from one clinic, notify us before signing up for another clinic so that your name can be removed, and space freed for others, from the first.
