If you need an invoice for your school, here it is:


USAW Coaches Membership card* .......................... $35.00
KWCA Membership including Bronze Clinic ................ $90.00

total ............................... $125.00

* the price of the card is contingent upon passing a background check! If you passed it last year, you don't need it this year. If you need the background check, contact your local USAW club for the proper procedures.

Registration will be handled on-site.

This is a tremendous opportunity for coaches, made possible by the cooperation between the KWCA and USAW.

Please contact Randy Hinderliter: rhinderliter@usawks.com or by PM if you plan to attend.

NOTE: You must have a current USAW Coaches Membership card to take the Bronze clinic!! This card is only available through your local club or through USAW Kansas.

For the past several weeks I have been getting inquiries about "hosting" Bronze clinics!

Already in the works are the following sites: STA (Lenexa), Parsons, Turner (KC), Liberal, and Ottawa!

We would like to able to provide a clinic in everyone's hometown but that is a logistical impossibility. With that in mind, we strive to move our sites around. We might only be in your area (within 3 hours) once, so try to make it!

Clubs, begin early to plan your season. If you have coaches that need certification get their background checks done and have their USAW membership cards in hand! All coaches taking the Bronze need a current card number to register! (in the past, we have accepted a few that were "pending" only to find out later that they weren't)

For those coaches in the North/Northwest, I am confident Bill Johnson will be holding his annual clinic again.

Have a great season!

Is there a date on the Kansas City Area clinics?

December 11th @ STA in Lenexa!

Weren't we told at the state meeting that the cost of the background check had been reduced to $15.00?

"Weren't we told at the state meeting that the cost of the background check had been reduced to $15.00?"

I just went by what was listed on the USA Wrestling national web site.

I'm a little confused. I thought you had to have background check and bronze certification to get usaw coaches card.

Linn County Twisters

Mike,

Check with Randy Hinderliter on this. There use to be a 1 year grace period on the Bronze Card. I think it is mandatory now.
I think they have to have everything for the state series, subs, districts and state.

Just announced!!

January 8th, 2012

Bronze Clinic in Parsons @ 10 am, this clinic will include a 1-hour technique session. A light meal will be provided and the local club will accept donations for the same.

Pre-registration is requested and a current USAW Coaches Membership card will be required!

The Kids division was made a requirement to be Bronze certified before coaching in the State tournament series!

You must have a current USAW Coaches membership card before you take your clinic.

You must have a background verification before you are allowed to obtain that card.

The background check is good for a 2-year period.

I don't recall that the cost was lowered but I did step out of the meeting a couple of times!!

Don't wait!

Coaches are required to complete a background check every two years. Before issuing a current coaches' card, your club will require you to provide proof that you have passed the background check. The cost of the background check is $17. Here are the instructions on what you need to do to complete your background check:

1.
Go to www.usawmembership.com.

2.
Sign in or create a new account.

3.
Click 'Profile' in the upper right corner of the screen and choose 'BG Check History' near the top of the screen. Please note that you will be required to use a different user id and password in the background check website - do not try to use your USA Wrestling user id and password.

4.
After completing the background check, do not attempt to purchase a membership online. This feature is disabled for Kansas coaches.

5.
After the background check is complete you will receive an email notice indicating whether or not you have successfully passed the background check. Provide this confirmation notice to the club director, who will then be able to purchase your coaches' membership from the state office.
