The online PCA course is good for NCSL certification for only ONE SEASON. Coaches who choose to take the online course will need to send a copy of their certificate for verification by FAX to Kathleen Sessions at (703) 791-5702 or by email to Claire Filemyr.
In addition to the fee charged by PCA, coaches taking the online course will owe the NCSL fees/fines as described below:
* $25 fee for taking the online course the first time. This is in addition to the PCA fee charged for taking the course online. The fee will be $50 each subsequent time the online course is taken.
* Failure to submit to the NCSL documentation of completion of the online course by 5PM the Wednesday prior to the first league game will incur a $150 fine. For spring 10 that date is April 7th.
* If a game is played by a team whose head coach has not completed the PCA requirement and submitted the certification to the NCSL for verification, the game is forfeit.
Attendance at an NCSL or other PCA sanctioned workshop will obviate these monetary fines. All fees/fines must be sent to the NCSL office by check made payable to NCSL. The coach, team and club names must be on the check as well as team league number.
For a list of coaches, and when they need to recertify, see attached. Failure to fulfill this requirement may result in fines and the forfeiture of games.
