Sumario:The purpose of this study was to assess the level of initial certification that coaches of school-aged handball teams have, the type of athletic planning that they develop, and these coaches’ evaluation of the material that was covered in their certification process. A descriptive study using survey methodology with a 5-point Likert scale was utilized. A total of 269 coaches participated, of which 27.9% were level I coaches, 26.4% were level II coaches, and 45.7% were level III coaches. The results indicate that the coaches of school-aged sport categories are predominantly lower level coaches. Coaches evaluated the following material in their certification classes as neither good nor bad: psychology, medicine, physical education, and training analysis and evaluation. They evaluated the content about new technologies as inadequate or having little relevance. Level I coaches gave a worse evaluation of the content about technique, tactics, game systems, physical conditioning, and training planning and periodization than level III coaches (p<.05).
