2023 ASA May 1 Updated Coaches List and Meeting Reminders
2023 ASA May 1 Updated Coaches List and Meeting Reminders
May 2, 2023
Teams,
Here is a link to the updated list of coaches who have completed their requirements for background checks and coaches certification, Coach Certification and Background Checks . The list is current as of the end of April. Please check the list to see if your coaches are included. A couple of reminders:
Coaches age 18 and older MUST complete a background check and provide results to their team coordinators before interacting with swimmers on the team. These coaches must also pass the Coaches Certification course prior to interacting with swimmers on the team.
If you coach will turn 18 during the season, you should have them complete the background check and provide their team coordinators the results.
Coaches Age 15-17 MUST complete the Coaches Certification course, the background check is optional for coaches age 17 and under.
If your coach has NOT met the requirements above should NOT be permitted to coach until they do so.
If you have any questions about this, please e mail at [email protected]. Please note some coaches have used a different name for the course and the check, so we are having to manually cross check those so there many be some missing names. Don't forget, it is the responsibility of each team to have their coach provide them the results of the background check and for the team to verify the coach passed this check.
We appreciate your patience. Because many coaches do not use the same name, We are having to manually cross check the lists with about 800 names. I do not know if "Tom Jones" and "Bob Jones" are the same swimmer or a swimmer and volunteer so I can not include them on the list until I confirm that they are the same person.
Also, any backgrounds checks being processed for updates do not make this list and will be included in the next list. Our plan is to update this list weekly, and we will e mail teams once updates are posted.
If you have any questions about your coach or want to check on a specific coach, please email Leah Hinnefeld [email protected]
