The American Sport Education Program (ASEP) is proud to partner with Fresno Pacific University (FPU) to offer our Coaching Principles, Sport First Aid, Coaching Basketball Technical and Tactical Skills, and Directing Youth Sports Programs online courses to teachers and coaches for graduate-level professional development credit.

This option is especially valuable to elementary, middle school, and high school faculty-coaches who are required to earn professional development credit to maintain their teaching certificate (and to earn a raise). From the comfort of your own home, you have the ability to earn professisonal development credit by taking a course in which you have genuine interest: coaching! Each year, more than 25,000 high school, club sport, and Olympic coaches take ASEP courses to further their professional development and meet certification requirements.

Thanks to our partner, Fresno Pacific University, for making this option available to teachers and coaches.
