The Minor in Sport Coaching (SPCO) meets the needs of those interested in becoming coaches in professional, recreational, youth, and academic settings. The Minor in Sport Coaching provides foundational knowledge for any students who plan to coach in any setting. This minor also serves any Education double majors who intend to become teachers and coaches in the K-12 setting.

This minor can be paired with any degree, including a major in Kinesiology. All SPCO minors must earn a "C" or better for all KINE/ATTR courses.
