Re-certification Required Every 7 Years for Shooting Sports Leaders

Certifications need to be renewed in each discipline every 7 years to ensure that leaders are up-to-date with the latest knowledge and skills as well as changes that have been made to the 4-H Shooting Sports Program. Previously there was a grace period for anyone who had been certified before the rule change. As of 2024, that grace period has ended. If you were last certified in a discipline before 2017, you are no longer certified as a Level 1 leader and you will need to complete recertification for that discipline this year (March 2024). We appreciate your dedication to the 4-H program and understand the importance of maintaining current certifications.

Registration for certification will open on v2.4HOnline.com beginning 6 weeks ahead of each training:

  • Morgan County registration opens on Friday, January 19,

  • Pueblo County registration opens on Friday, January 26,

  • Weld County registration opens on Friday, February 2,

  • Garfield County registration opens on Friday, February 9.

Please ensure that you are fully enrolled and active on 4HOnline.com before registering for certification training. Payment should be submitted to the Extension Office, and one lump payment for Larimer County will be submitted to the state. Please make checks out to Larimer County Extension and turn them into the office. The Larimer County 4-H Foundation offers reimbursement for the registration fee following one year of active participation as a leader in the Larimer County 4-H Shooting Sports ​​program.
