Presidents, League Officers, friends and neighbors,

The new year is upon us, and a new method of registering for the coaching clinics has been devised by USA Hockey.  From this date forward, the only way to register for a coaching clinic is by doing so in advance, online, with pre-payment via a credit card.  USA Hockey has a developed clinic calendars for the entire U.S., that incorporates registration and payment.  By going to the USA Hockey web page: www.usahockey.com the registrant can find the clinic he wants to attend and register, make payment, etc.

To make things easier than searching the web site, below is the link to the registration page:

I have posted the clinics in September in Southern California, and each clinic has a maximum number of attendees.  Once the maximum is reached, the software program will not accept any more registrants.  When this occurs, the coach will have to look for a clinic that is open.  There will be "NO" walk-in registration at the clinics.  "ALL" attendees must pre-register and pay online. 

The only exclusion to this method will be registering for 'Advanced Certification Clinics' held in August. 

Clubs that wish to pay for multiple coaches will need to do so separately, and register each coach with corresponding payment, then the next coach and the next, etc.
