As you may know, there is increased awareness of concussions and how they impact our athletes and families. Below is a link to the concussion wise program offered by the Pennsylvania Athletic Trainer's Society. It is free of charge for coaches. EPYSA requires ALL coaches to access the link and train yourself on this important piece of information. At the conclusion of the training, you will have a confirmation email sent to you with your certificate of completion.
NOTE: All Coaches are required to complete this Concussion Certification per EPYSA regulations.
Must be completed AFTER August 1st and BEFORE September 1st
*Please forward your confirmation email to the NSC Registrar for our records. If you do not send the confirmation email to NSC, you will not be allowed to coach for the upcoming season

Coaching Education: LVYSL E License
In order to coach a LVYSL Team starting at the U10 level, you need to have you E license prior to the season.
There is a great deal of prep work to be done for our travel teams. This includes: Entering teams with the LVYSL league, collecting paperwork for all players and coaches on your teams, and entering information to print out forms to be signed by parents as well as player passes and proof of coach license. Paperwork for all travel teams is due to the NSC Registrar no later than August 1. All packets and information must be complete and accurate by that date in order to play for fall. If at all possible, please try to attend this course as it seems to be earlier than some other local clubs that are hosting. This will help to ensure that paperwork is complete and accurate to be turned into the league. If there is anyone else that may coach with you please pass along the information.
