The issue may be you did not list yourself on the club or the name as the club contact does not match the name on the membership. The name on the membership must match EXACTLY the name on the club as the contact.

Do all my coaches have to take the PCA course?

Yes. The Positive Coaching Alliance course is mandatory for all non-athlete memberships in AAU. The course takes approximately one hour but does not have to be completed all in one sitting. You can take it one module at a time if you wish and come back to the rest of it later. There is normally a charge for this course, but for AAU members, it is one of the many benefits included in your membership.

How do I become a Coach?

There are two things you’ll need to do in order to become a coach. Please see those steps below.

1. You will need to purchase a non-athlete membership. The cost of a membership is $16 per non-athlete or $18 for the extended benefit membership. This card is for coaches and bench personnel.

2. The AAU National Office is happy to provide FREE Coaches’ Education for all AAU Non-Athletes. This exciting program is administered by Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), using their Double-Goal Coach online courses. A Double-Goal Coach has two goals: the first is to win, but the second, more important goal, is to teach life lessons through sports. The Positive Coaching Alliance Coaches’ Education is mandatory.

What is a Club Membership and what is the difference between Club Level 1, 2, & 3?

AAU Club Membership is for organizations incorporated or unincorporated such as Y.M.C.A’s, Boys & Girls Clubs, Businesses, Mom & Pop Teams, etc.

A Club Level 1 is our basic Club Membership that allows you to participate in all of our team sports. With this membership you are eligible to participate in events, vote at appropriate district meetings, and receive sanction for practice insurance.

A Club Level 2 gives you all of the benefits of a Club Level 1 Membership and also allows you to be eligible to sanction to host an event and use the AAU Name & Logo in AAU Sanctioned events.

A Club Level 3 allows you to receive the benefits of a Club Level 2 Membership and also allows you to be eligible for tax-exempt status, except tax-exempt donations, and become sales tax-exempt in your state.
