2 classes on line. First Aid (Pupil Supervision) and Fundamentals of Coaching. http://www.nfhs.org/content.aspx?id=3494. You also need to get a pupil supervision permit from the Ohio Department of Education. If you're not a teacher or a sub then you'll need to be fingerprinted for a background check.

I knew you'd get your softball fix one way or another. :yahoo:

I have no first hand knowledge of the process for becoming an assistant HS coach and I am not one of your softball brothers , but I do consider us to be OFC friends so I took a little time to investigate what is available on the web.

There is an apparently new or at least newly revised OHSAA general regulation that states:

[FONT=&quot]"3. Penalties for Failure to Acquire Pupil Activity/Coaching Permit[/FONT]
High school and 7th-8th grade coaches who do not possess the Pupil Activity/Coaching Permit,
which is part of the State Board of Education requirements to coach in Ohio, shall not be permitted
to coach at any level at an OHSAA member school. Further, high schools shall submit to the
[FONT=&quot]OHSAA on the tournament entry form, the name of each board-approved coach along with[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]the Pupil Activity/Coaching Permit number [/FONT]in each of the 24 recognized sports. Further, any
high school coach who does not possess this Permit at the first level of the tournament shall not be
permitted to coach at any level of the tournament until such time that the Permit is obtained and
verification of such permit is provided to the OHSAA. Falsification of this information shall result
in a coach?s removal from the OHSAA tournament.
[FONT=&quot]Note: [/FONT]It is the intention of the OHSAA to perform random audits of these permits throughout the
school year and to fine schools that have not complied with the bylaw in the amount of $250 per
coach."


Here is the link to the specific requirements published by the State Board of Education for pupil activity permits: http://www.ode.state.oh.us/GD/Templ...elationID=1328&ContentID=84483&Content=103612



Probably the most important thing on that page is the phone number for the State office that oversees the pupil activity permit process.


Let me know if Portsmouth is going to wander north this HS season. I'd love to catch one of your games and see your DD in action again.

Went through it last year. Isn't it great to be an assistant coach or any coach for that matter and it only coast you about $250 .00 by the time you complete everything.

Good luck Dan, looks like everyone has covered everything but the tb test. You can get that done at a county health office. I would love to hear your thoughts on the online course when you are finished with it.

BCI/FBI Background check, need to be fingerprinted etc. needs to be completed before the pupil activity permit is valid.

Don't forget Height and Weight, you will need to have a good BMI and your Cholesterol Levels and Blood Pressure will all need to be in the safe zone on the chart. You will have to be in the safe zone to start because coaching High School Girls usually makes these levels go haywire from time to time....

sounds like its easier to join the FBI ..... (I'm gonna get even with you Coop ) MD

Well i donated my 105.00 bucks to the assn today. I feel so ENLIGHTENED . Honestly it should be considered criminal the way they are fleecing people. It took me 3 hours and that was skipping 75 % of the BS. "TIMEOUT FOR A TEACHABLE MOMENT " I think I'll be hearing that BS in my sleep tonight.

If you didnt skip alot of material it might take 12 hours to read it all.
