COACH AND CAPTAIN RESOURCES
For most teams, coach and captain are interchangeable leadership titles. However, some teams may treat them as separate entities. On the page you will find guides for both parties to help you on your leadership journey in USQ.
CERTIFICATIONS & TRAINING
Each USQ official team must have a certified coach. All coaches must complete the following programs to be considered certified for the current season.
DEI Training

Choose “Take the Course” and you'll be prompted to create a log-in, then you can enter the course
Upon completion of any of the above, send a screenshot of your certificate(s) to coaches@usquadball.org.
