If your name is on this list, then you are certified for the 2026-27 school year.  If your name is no longer listed, then you will need to recertify. 

All coaches/evaluators will need to re-certify in SPS this year.

This list is purged each June, and expiring numbers are removed.

  • Training sessions are offered at clinics and at the coach conference each year for free.
  • The deadline to complete SPS certification is December 15th of each season, the deadline to compelte QR certification is January 6 of each season.
  • If you do not complete certification by the deadline and still need to be certified, KAAC will ask a trainer if they are willing to do a session. If no one can conduct a session, then you will not be certified. If a trainer is able to offer a session, then the cost will be $50 per person.
