Virginia High School League

The VHSL has adopted Human Kinetics Coach Education courses as meeting its coaching education requirements, with the various courses and options outlined below.

Required of all VHSL coaches
1. Basic VHSL Course (Coaching Orientation)
Select the Coaching Orientation, Second Edition Online Course, below to fulfill your requirement for the Basic VHSL Course. If you would like a more comprehensive learning experience than the Basic VHSL Course, please see details on the optional advanced courses below.

2. VHSL State Component, Second Edition Online Course (free)
This course is required of all VHSL coaches. If you are a new VHSL coach, you are required to take this free course as part of your certification. If you've taken a previous edition of the VHSL state component course in the past, you are encouraged to take this updated course to receive the latest VHSL information. Be sure to place the course in your cart (you won't be charged for it).

Optional: For a more comprehensive learning experience
As an alternative to the Basic VHSL Course, the "advanced" program provides you with a much more comprehensive learning experience. With this option, you'll take two courses, Coaching Principles, Fifth Edition Online Course and Sport First Aid, Sixth Edition Online Course, to meet the requirement. You may purchase the courses separately or select one of the Coaching Education Online Course Packages at a discounted price. In addition, be sure to place the VHSL State Component Online Course in your cart (you won't be charged for it).
