The question no longer is "Should coaches be trained?" but "How should coaches be trained?" The American Sport Education Program (ASEP) has been offering the answer to this question since 1981 through the development and implementation of coaching education courses and resources. ASEP materials have been used to educate more than one million coaches, officials, sport administrators, and parents over the past 20-plus years.

To view a listing of ASEP courses, purchase an online courses, or learn more about ASEP offerings that meet the needs of these distinct sport audiences, visit the Learn About ASEP's Curricula and Courses section of our site.

Coaches and officials who successfully complete ASEP courses are listed on our National Coaches and Officials Registries. These one-stop resources make it simple for sport administrators to verify coaches' and officials' qualifications. In addition, individual coaches and officials can visit their respective registries to verify personal course history and to print transcripts.

If you're a coach, official, sport administrator, or parent looking for product information specific to your role, use the appropriate Home Page button on the left-hand menu to quickly get to where you need to go. Once you purchase a course, visit your respective home page to access your courses, take a test, or view your transcript.

If you're a Coaching Principles or Sport First Aid classroom course instructor, the Instructors' Home Page is where you'll purchase classroom course packets, submit course report forms, and post your scheduled courses on the classroom course calendar.

In addition to courses, ASEP publishes and makes available a variety of books, videos, CD-ROMs, and DVDs geared toward coaches, officials, sport administrators, and parents. Visit the ASEP Store to view a complete selection of ASEP resources as well as those of ASEP's parent organization, Human Kinetics.
