Coaching Minor

The coaching minor develops future coaches by teaching current theories and practices in coaching and with practical experience through the coaching practicum. This helps to prepare students for coaching at the youth, elementary, high school, college, or even professional levels.

Since 1997, Minnesota has not required a teaching or coaching license to coach high school athletics. The coaching minor helps train and develop future coaches in the areas of practice planning, skill development, and coaching strategies in their sport of interest. In addition, it gives those students interested in coaching more marketability for coaching positions.

Any student, regardless of major, can earn a coaching minor.
