2024 NCAA Certification Information

The NCAA requires all individuals that engage in coaching activities at an NCAA certified event must be approved BEFORE participating through USA Basketball and the Basketball Certification System (BBCS).

To fill out the online application, you will need the following:

 

Internet access

Current knowledge of NCAA basketball certification rules

A valid credit card

A current email address

 

The NCAA has opened a new link for coaches to get certified. You will be required to obtain a USA Basketball Gold License. The NCAA Enforcement Certification and Approval Group (ECAG) has adopted the USA Basketball Gold License program as a requirement to operate an NCAA-certified event or to participate in coaching activities/sit on a bench during an NCAA-certified event. The ECAG has adopted the USA Basketball system in order to simplify the certification process for you and so that you can enjoy the benefits that come with being a Gold-licensed coach. After receiving your USAB Gold License number, the NCAA requires ALL coaches (head coaches and assistants) and ALL players to create accounts on the Basketball Certification Site (BBCS).
