Do you have to be a teacher to a coach if not how can I get certified. If so what do I have to do to get certified I\'m 58 tears old and love to play sports with children. In 2005 I was an asst. coach for youth football and we won the super bowl that year I coached youth football for 5 years. Thank You Patrick!
