Introduction to Coaching is required for all coaches (cheer and performance cheer) as well as CITs.  There are eight parts to this exam.  Each part of the exam has a power point to read prior to answering questions relevant to that part.   The exam is open book, and as such, you can reference the power points and any other any materials you wish while completing it.

The SCA requires coaches to complete the exam independently.  This is because coaches are getting the certification as individuals, and even though coaches may have a partner in coaching, we as an organization need to know our coaches are knowledgeable to coach safely on their own.
