California Interscholastic Federation

Human Kinetics Coach Education is proud of our long-time affiliation with the CIF, and we look forward to training new CIF coaches in the 2023-24 school year and beyond.

Courses approved by the California Department of Education and the CIF as meeting the California coaching education requirements are CIF Coaching Principles, Fifth Edition Online Course and CIF Coaching Orientation, Second Edition Online Course. You may take either course to meet the requirement.

Please note: The CIF state component is bundled with Coaching Principles and Coaching Orientation. The CIF component presents CIF-specific information on rules, regulations, policies, and procedures. There is a separate test associated with the state component. 

The Sport First Aid course meets the California Department of Education requirements for first aid training for coaches.

Through a generous grant from the LA84 Foundation, coaches in the Los Angeles City Section and CIF Southern Section receive $20 off the price of the CIF Coaching Orientation course. See the respective organization pages for more details. 

Thank you for choosing Human Kinetics Coach Education as your coaching education provider!
