Any person wishing to coach a team at any level in National Junior Basketball
must complete the following certification process.

  1. All coaches and assistant coaches must be approved by their local NJB Board of directors.
  2. All coaches and assistant coaches must complete the coach's registration on their chapter's D4 web site.
  3. All NJB head coaches and assistant coaches must be fingerprinted with NJB. If your name appears on the official NJB fingerprint list posted on the NJB web site you have cleared the fingerprint portion of certification. If your name is not on the list you must get fingerprinted at one of the locations posted on the NJB web site. (You will be allowed to coach your team pending your fingerprint results if you turn in your fingerprint form)
  4. All head coaches must attend a NJB coach's clinic. Three levels will be offered this year.
    Level 1-All Net coaches
    Level 2-Division 1 coaches and experienced Division 2 coaches
