Level 1 will be held on Friday, Oct. 17, Level 2 on Saturday, Oct. 18, and Level 3 on Saturday, Oct. 25. All clinics will be held at the Christie Lodge in Avon. You will need to register ON-LINE for the clinics. Walk-in registrations at the door WILL NOT be accepted.
If you need initial certification for the age group level you will be coaching this season, or need recertification, please sign up for one of Eric’s clinics. After December 31, 2008, non-certified coaches or coaches with expired certifications will no longer be allowed to participate in all on-ice/off-ice team practices and games.

LEVEL 3 ON-LINE RECERTIFICATION:
Please note that if you received your initial Level 3 certification during the 2005-06 season, your certification EXPIRES ON DEC. 31, 2008.
You may sign up for the Level 3 clinic on Oct. 25, OR you may take the on-line Level 3 recertification by going to www.usahockey.com and clicking on “Level 3 Recertification” on the left toolbar or under “Coaches” on the top toolbar. I also have to recertify for this coming season, and I understand we need to devote at least an hour and a half of computer time to the on-line version. I’ll know more when I go through the process.
Let’s make sure we have all the i’s crossed and the t’s dotted before the expiration deadline of December 31, 2008!!!
Thanks. See you around the “Pond”!
