COACHES: New and Returning (please use last year’s logins)

• The Gold Coaching License requires
• (1) mandatory course videos on NCAA eligibility, USAB coaching, and Safe Sport (that together take a few hours), and
• (2) a background check (that takes a few days to process)
• Please do not wait to complete this. Prices also go up in the month of April and July! If you are a returning coach, please use the same login information that you used last year.
• After receiving your USAB Gold License, login to the NCAA BBCS website to activate your account. Use the same account/email address for the NCAA BBCS. Do not create a duplicate account. That link can be found here: http://bbcs.ncaa.org
