To apply as a coach in the FCHA, you will also need to complete the following:

• Background Screen - required every other year to authorize a background check (returning coaches - you do not need to do this, $30).
• Coach's card / CEP Training - required - you may get a temporary card if you need an updated card or CEP this year (almost all returning coaches need an updated card, new coaches all need CEP level 1).
• USA Hockey Age modules - required for the age group you are coaching, needed if your players changed age groups.
