USBC Coaching’s
Gold certification program is the culmination of years of knowledge and experience.
To become a USBC-certified Gold level coach requires two main tasks: 1) Complete
all the requirements and exercises outlined in the Gold Guidebook; 2) Successfully
demonstrate skills and knowledge to a panel during a final review session.
You must be a Silver Level Coach to apply for Gold, however coaches of any certification level may purchase the Guidebook in order to be able to work towards this goal
The Gold Guidebook outlines the disciplines which need to be mastered.
Information is included on the standards of knowledge and experience required
within each discipline, along with recommended sources of information and
options to fulfill those requirements.
Similar to obtaining a PhD in a field of study, an applicant seeking USBC
Gold certification will be required to demonstrate their knowledge through
practical application and discussion. The final review program will consist
of conducting lessons and clinics for bowlers of various skill levels while
being evaluated by the final review board. This board will consist of active
USBC-certified Gold coaches and USBC staff. The board will also engage
in discussions with the applicant on subjects relating to the disciplines.
Costs:
Gold Guidebook: $25
Expense to complete domains will vary
Final Review Session: $800
