How It Works

From sign-up to sidelines.

Three requirements, one sitting, zero cost to the coach. A coach becomes PTC Approved only when every requirement is complete.

01

Age-based education

Pick the age group you coach: 4-7, 8-12, or 13-17. Learn how to communicate, correct, and build confidence at that stage, then pass a short quiz (80% to pass, retake anytime).

02

First aid & CPR

Complete a first aid and CPR awareness module so you know what to do in an emergency before help arrives.

03

Background check

A verified check run securely by a professional screening partner. It is the compliance backbone of every PTC Approved coach.

The Path

Six simple steps.

Create your account

Name, email, and your league. Takes about two minutes.

Select your age group

Choose the developmental stage you coach: 4-7, 8-12, or 13-17.

Complete coaching education

Watch the age-based module and pass a short quiz.

Finish first aid training

Complete the first aid and CPR awareness module and pass the knowledge check.

Pass a background check

Submit your verified check through our trusted screening partner. Most clear within minutes to a few days.

Receive your PTC Pass

Get your digital credential with QR verification. Save it, share it, and show it on the sidelines.

Renewal: a PTC Pass is valid for one season (about 10 months). Coaches re-screen and renew each season so approval always reflects a current check.
