Do you have a passion for sports? Do you want to lead and develop players in their mastery of skills, techniques, and strategies? Do you want to make a difference in the life of a young athlete? Consider adding a minor in athletic coaching.
The new Athletic Coaching Minor at Regis provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary for entry-level coaching positions at a variety of age levels. Plan developmentally appropriate training programs, design sequential practice outlines, fine tune a personal coaching philosophy, gain knowledge of current strength, conditioning and nutrition principles, and gain practical coaching experience through an array of hands-on activities.
As part of the curriculum, students will attain membership and initial coaching certification through the National Alliance for Youth Sport (NAYS). Qualified faculty in the program share expert knowledge, based on a wide range of coaching experiences, that allows them to lead and mentor students as they prepare for their future careers.
