ASA/USA Softball is proud to introduce the
ACE coaching certification program. This program replaces the ASA’s
previous coaching education program, the VIP (Volunteer Improvement
Program). The ACE (Achieve, Certify, Educate) Coaching
Certification program is a brand new certification program, developed
and designed to provide softball coaches of all levels – from
beginning coaches to experienced veterans – an opportunity to
certify as a coach with a national softball organization.
As the National Governing Body of Softball, it is the ASA’s responsibility
to ensure that our coaches achieve a certain level of understanding
of what their duties are as coach of a youth softball team. The ACE
Certification video and the ACE Certification Manual are practical guides
to the everyday situations you will encounter as a youth softball coach.
After obtaining your ACE certification, you will be well prepared to
coach a youth softball team.
A-chieve: A certain level of knowledge.
C-ertify: To confirm that a coach has obtained a level of understanding
over that which he/she has been tested on.
E-ducate: To assist with the gathering of knowledge and information.
