New York State Secondary Coaching Mandate: New York
established an athletic coaching mandate that requires all Education majors and
non-teaching professionals to meet established criteria to qualify to coach in elementary
and secondary schools and in youth recreation programs. Students at Fredonia can organize
18 credit hours of electives needed for graduation into one of three program sequences
that will allow them to meet the state mandate for strenuous/contact activities and
non-strenuous/non-contact activities. Students wishing to coach in New York State
secondary schools and/or recreational programs are advised to enroll in the following
courses.
A non-Education major may be employed as a temporary coach by
obtaining a Temporary Coaching License from the Division of Teacher Education and
Certification and meeting all the requirements listed in the brochure by enrolling in and
completing the New York State approved coaching offered at Fredonia.
Upon the initial course completion the State Education
Department will issue a certificate of completion for this course material. Standard First
Aid must then be renewed every three years and CPR must be renewed annually. Coaches who
have allowed their certificates to expire must re-enroll in the entire course or challenge
out the physical and written material in order to obtain a current certificate.

York State Mandate by completing one (1) of the following three options:
1. The Fredonia Athletic Coaching Minor (18 credits). This
