Coaching Info

USAW Membership

Coaches will need to create a profile at www.usawmembership.com.

Make sure to "claim" your previous USAW ID to your new profile. You can find your previous profile in 2 ways:

1. Search using first name/last name/state/birthdate (easiest)

2. Search using USAW ID (most don't know this off the top of their head)

 

This profile will be used to keep track of online courses you complete and the status of your bi-annual background check.

Background Check for Coaches Cards - Required Every 2 Years


Coaches are required to complete a background check every two years. Before issuing a current coaches' card, your club will require you to provide proof that you have passed the background check. Here are the instructions on what you need to do to complete your background check:

1. Go to www.usawmembership.com and sign into your profile

2. Click on "Go to Profiles" and click on the "BG Check" circle

3. After completing the background check, do not attempt to purchase a membership online. This feature is disabled for Kansas coaches.

4. After the background check is complete you will receive an email notice indicating whether or not you have successfully passed the background check. Provide this confirmation notice to the club director, who will then be able to purchase your coaches' membership from the state office.

Purchase Your USA Wrestling Leader Membership Card

 

After completing the above, you will now be able to purchase your Wrestling Leadership membership (same as previous Coach's Card). Coaches must now purchase their USA Wrestling Leader membership card through the USA Membership site, as clubs can no longer do this.

Memberships will be good through August 31st each season.

Bronze Certification Link:

This certification is required to coach at some higher level tournaments i.e. Battle of the Belt, districts, state, etc.
