Do we have any Athletic Directors or Youth Sports Directors on board?

Stinger · 08-17-2005, 11:17 AM

Anyone fit this bill? I have a question concerning youth sports more importantly Coach Certification. Do you require your coaches to be certified? If so what or where do they recieve they training or certification.

Looking mainly at sports for ages 12 and up. Any help on this would be greatly appriciated. Something may fall into my lap that I am not at liberty to say now just trying to get a heads up just incase it does. Thanks

I'm sure the parents will be verifying this if you do go into coaching.

Actually I am a certified Class D coach for soccer and have coached at many different levels, but an oppertunity may arrise that I may be overseeing and entire youth sports organisation. They have sports that I am not familiar with in certification and currently it is a parent run program and no certifaction required. If the situation works out I would like to change that.

I'm mostly kidding, but the bro complete his Masters last year and now he's supervising a landscaping crew. Last I checked, landscapers didn't even require a high school diploma much less a $100k education.

I'm not a sports director but I have coached little league football, baseball and soccer at 3 different cities and many different levels.

On a yearly basis I have to take a 2 hour Missouri state mandated sportmanship training and have to pass a background check done by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

they don't do it in house. They contract it out. The leagues website is www.lsbaseball.com You may ask someone on there what they do to comply with the Missouri law.

I am a youth sports director in Kansas. We require all of our coaches to be certified through the NYSCA. You can check out their site at http://www.nays.org

We pretty much stop at 7th grade. There's two parts to certifying a coach through NYSCA. First, they watch a video showing them the proper ways to act and deal with the kids and their parents and sign a pledge saying they will abide by the NYSCA rules. The second part is they watch a video with drills and coaching techniques for the particular sport involved. It's a pretty good program.
