Coach Certification / Information

MRPA is attempting to provide a broad spectrum of coaching certification sites – we do not endorse one program over another – that would be strictly up to the individual communities

ASEP

 American Sport Education Programs 

"ASEP is committed to improving amateur sport by encouraging coaches, officials, administrators, parents, and athletes to embrace the 'athletes first, winning second' philosophy and by providing the education to put the philosophy to work."

Coaching School

 Coaching School

We provide affordable coaching education, training and certification to city parks and recreation, leagues, YMCA's and Boys and Girls clubs, club programs, resorts and individuals. We are one of only four organizations in the country that offer coaching certification.  We believe that better, or best even, doesn't have to mean the most expensive. You'll be amazed.  Better coaches. Better athletes. Better programs!

Better Than The Rest!

If your tired of "free" sites, where the quality of the videos and the coaching is questionable, then we have the solution. We provide  practice plans in video that you can understand and use right away. We use real players and real coaches - not animation, cartoons, or wanna-be coaches who write long confusing drills.
