I don't think you have to be certified if your a teacher in the building. I think the certification allows the school to protect you if theres an injury or problem with an athlete or things along those lines. I know in my case at least thats how it was explained to me.

My understanding is you need ACEP, but it might be a district by district thing.

I know if you don't have a teachers certificate/license most schools will require the coaching certification/classes. I have also heard some schools will allow you to coach with a substitute teaching certificate and count that as a teaching certificate and not require the coaching certification. The only requirement for a sub cert was a 4 year degree (e.g. you do not have to have teaching classes to qualify).

I know if you need to take the coaching certification at the last minute, they do teach a bunch of classes what seemed like every week...so it seems like if you get a job at the last minute that requires a coaching certification you can find a class pretty easily.
