Coach Education Grant Program

2010 Coach Education Grant Guidelines

USA Archery is proud to announce the continuation of the Coach Education Grant program for 2010.

CEO Denise Parker has placed coaching development as one of her highest priorities over the next quadrennial. The implementation of the USAA certification program is a cornerstone of the coach development plan.

In a joint effort utilizing USA Archery and JOAD funding provided by the Easton Foundations, we are excited to be able to ease the transition by offering coaches an opportunity to subsidize the cost of certification into the new USAA Coach Certification Program. The funding is open to all coaches; priority for funding will be given to coaches who have active programs, with key emphasis on JOAD programs. 

The Education Grant program will cover course fees ($250) to Community Coach courses. Grants for Transition Regional courses will help offset travel costs (up to $100) and course fees ($250). 
Prior approval is required and reimbursement will be provided after completion of the course.

  • Coaches must have an active JOAD Program
  • Coaches must be at least an Intermediate (L2) Certified USAA Coach.
