iHoops Coach Certification Program

At iHoops, one of the goals is to provide the best coaching and officiating possible for the 23 million boys and girls who play the game of basketball.

With the aim to help all coaches become better at what they do, iHoops partnered with the National Federation of State High Schools to create a Coach Certification program for the grassroots and high school levels.
