INTERESTED IN COACHING?

What is required to be a coach?

All Tennessee SCTP coaches must meet the following requirements:

  1. Be 21 years of age or older.
  2. Complete and pass an annual background check. Coaches will not be allowed to participate with a team in any capacity if Tennessee Wildlife Federation or the Tennessee SCTP steering committee deems background check findings unacceptable.
  3. Be in good standing with Tennessee Wildlife Federation and Tennessee SCTP.
  4. Complete coaching registration via the Tennessee SCTP online system by the registration deadline.
  5. Complete the following education courses:
    • SSSF Basic Shotgun Shooting Sports Coach Training OR NRA Level 1 Shotgun Coach class.
    • One continuing education course every three years, such as advanced coaches’ training, first aid training, sexual harassment training, and youth protection program training.
