Re-Certification
Currently, once you earn Level 1 certification, you do not need to re-certify. To maintain a current, non-expired certification, you simply need to:
1) Keep your membership current by renewing every year—view your expiration date in your USL account.
2) Renew your USL/NCSI Background Screening every 2 years after the first screening. Not sure when to do this? Check your expiration date in your USL account.

• is knowledgeable about the skills and tactics of the sport,
• is relational and excellent at communicating with players and parents,
• possesses good character and is a positive role model.
US Lacrosse will help you achieve these goals, whether you played the game, have coached for many years, or are just volunteering for your child’s program.
