Coaching Education Program (CEP)
New and Returning MJHC Coaches
All youth hockey coaches in Michigan and the rest of the country are required to attend a series of clinics before they are eligible to coach. The clinics are designed to help coaches provide curriculum and use the proper teaching techniques to insure the proper development of their players. The card is valid for three seasons. Therefore, if your last clinic sticker says 2006-07 then you need to get recertified at the same level or move up to the next level.
Before registering for a clinic, please download and read the following Manual.
