NAYS CYSA Training
Youth sports programs are struggling in communities around the country because of a lack leadership. The National Alliance for Youth Sports (NAYS) and IPRA believe that every community needs a Certified Youth Sports Administrator to oversee the entire youth sports operation.
IPRA is hosting an onsite Academy for Youth Sports Administrators in conjunction with NAYS on October 5th to give you the training you need to be a leader in youth sports! The onsite academy will give you the knowledge you need to complete the certification process online with an exam and become a Certified Youth Sports Administrator. Sign up today to take advantage of this unique training opportunity!
CPSI Training
Are your playgrounds the safest they could be? Can you identify hazards in public playgrounds and implement a safety plan? If the answer to any of these questions is no, you could be a good fit for the Certified Playground Safety Inspector (CPSI) Certification Program!
The National Park and Recreation Association and IPRA are teaming up to provide this onsite training course on November 6th-8th. By taking this course you will receive the most comprehensive and up-to-date training on playground safety issues. The course covers the material to pass the Certified Playground Safety Inspector certification exam and will give you the skills you need to make playgrounds safer!
