Illinois High School Association (Coaches)

Human Kinetics Coach Education is proud of our long-time affiliation with the IHSA, and we look forward to training IHSA coaches in the 2023-24 school year and beyond.
Non-faculty coaches must pass three exams before coaching, covering general coaching principles, sport first aid, and IHSA by-laws. Human Kinetics Coach Education courses that meet the Illinois coaching education requirements in these areas are:
- IHSA Coaching Principles Online Course or IHSA Coaching Orientation Online Course. You may take either one of these courses to meet the IHSA requirement for general coaching principles;
- IHSA by-laws course; and
- Sport First Aid Online Course.
The IHSA by-laws course is a separate course with a separate test, but it is sold bundled with the IHSA Coaching Principles course and the IHSA Coaching Orientation course. It is not sold separately.
