Coach Requirements

All coaches must register with AHA.

In order to register, you will need to get a 2024-25 USA Hockey number ($46 + $10.50 MA fee, AHA will reimburse (a credit toward a future player registration payment is possible)).

Once you have completed that registration, you will also need to complete the following:

  • Background Screen - required every other year to authorize a background check (free).
  • SafeSport - required every year. It will offer the appropriate course/refresher when you log in with your USA Hockey number (free).
  • CEP Training / Coach's card  - required (almost all returning coaches need an updated card, new coaches all need CEP level 1, cost varies, AHA will reimburse).
  • USA Hockey Age modules - required for the age group you are coaching, needed if your player(s) changed age groups (cost  varies).

Please email the AHA Treasurer (amhersthockeytreasurer@gmail.com) to be reimbursed for any of the above.
