The ACE (Aspire, Challenge, Encourage) Coach Education Program is a coaching program, developed and designed to provide softball coaches of all levels – from beginning coaches to experienced veterans – an opportunity to be educated as a coach with a national softball organization.  

As the National Governing Body of Softball, it is the USA Softball’s responsibility to ensure that our coaches achieve a certain level of understanding of what their duties are as coach of a youth softball team. The ACE Education videos are a practical guide to the everyday situations you will encounter as a youth softball coach. After obtaining your ACE education, you will be well prepared to coach a youth softball team.

The cost for the ACE Coach Education Program is as follows: $25.00 for Level 1; $20:00 for all other levels. All coaches who wish to certify through the ACE Coach Education Program must consent and pass the USA Softball's background check in order to take the certification exam. Cost for the background check is included in the ACE Coach Education fee.  Completing an ACE Coach Education Program provides coaches with USA Softball's Bollinger Liability Insurance with a limit of $2,000,000 per occurrence.
