USBA NCAA Sanctioned Events
All individuals who engage
in coaching activities at an NCAA-certified event must be approved prior
to participation through the NCAA Coaches' Approval Program. NCAA
coaches who are employed at an event (which are limited due to other
legislative restrictions) are not required to complete this process, but
all other individuals, including AAU, club, high school, junior college,
prep school coaches and NCAA student-athletes are required to obtain the
requisite approval.
The coaches' approval process involves
an application, verification of criminal background, authorization for
release of information and completion of an educational component. The
entire process may be accessed and completed through
the NCAA basketball certification Web site and takes approximately
three to seven days to complete
the background check. To apply:
