Coaching, COP

The Certificate of Proficiency in Coaching from Irvine Valley College is designed to acquaint students with the critical concepts of managing athletes in age-group, high school and college programs. Anticipating that sport-specific instruction will be part of the student’s broader experience, covered by either the governing body of a sport (USA Volleyball or the California Youth Soccer Association as examples) or through the coaching and administrative staff within an athletic program, IVC Coaching students will focus on the broader aspects of program management, leadership, and integrity both in and out of competition. The program serves all students regardless of age, previous experience, or career objectives. Completing the Certificate also meets all standards as required by the CIF state offices for coaching education in California.
