Is a AAA coach considered qualified to coach a lower level team.

Accepted Answer

Question 5

Did "Absolutes" replace Skills Analysis?  If I took Skills Analysis, do I still need Absolutes?

Accepted Answer

Absolutes Clinic replaced Skills Analysis Clinic Feb 29th, 2016.

Absolutes Clinic is not needed if you have the Skills Analysis Clinic.   A black checkmark in your NCCP profile, beside Absolutes, indicates you have completed this requirement through equivalency.

PLEASE NOTE:  The SKILLS Clinic (recently introduced) is not an equivalent to Absolutes.

Question 6

Is the course "Absolutes" equivalent to "Coach Initiation in Baseball (Fundamentals)"?

Accepted Answer

No it is not.

The only equivalency for courses is when Absolutes replaced the Skills Analysis clinic in 2016.

Therefore if the certification chart indicates you need to complete Coach Initiation in Baseball  (Fundamentals) then you need to complete this regardless if you have or have not completed Absolutes.
