Welcome football coaches!
A new partnership between the American Football Coaches Foundation, the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA), and Human Kinetics' American Sport Education Program (ASEP) division has resulted in the creation of the AFCA Coaches Education Program. Through the program, coaches have the opportunity to participate in ASEP coaching courses to advance their professional development and earn continuing education credits through Michigan State University (MSU) and the Michigan Department of Education (MDE).
ASEP courses providing MSU and MDE CEUs include MSU Coaching Principles and MSU Coaching Football Technical and Tactical Skills. Visit the Continuing Education for Coaches store on the Human Kinetics Web site for information regarding this exciting professional development opportunity.
If you are an AFCA coach wanting to take ASEP courses but you don't need the CEUs, you can register for any of the courses listed in the table below. Just click on the online course icon next to the course of your choice.
