The Graduate Certificate in Coaching is designed to prepare coaches in youth, school, and recreational programs. These courses will provide teachers with two of the three required courses for the coaching endorsement, a requirement in the State of Florida to coach in public school. The additional requirement to gain the coaching endorsement can be obtained by taking an undergraduate course or completing a county workshop on coaching specialization. Students completing this program could be hired in school districts, youth sports programs, and other recreational agencies needing trained and certified coaches.
