FOCS = Foundations of Coaching Softball

MED = Making Ethical Decisions

NEW as of Fall 2021: Make Ethical Decisions update

Make Ethical Decisions (MED) is still required, but it is no longer integrated in the Community Softball or Comp-Intro NCCP clinics. If you are registered for an upcoming NCCP clinic and have not taken MED yet, you can complete it prior to attending the clinic.

*Coaches are only required to take MED training once, and it is good for all contexts in all sports.
