Just remember: “Every coach, Every year”.  This includes both paid and volunteer coaches. The links below are the only ones I am aware of that are approved to meet the mandate. I have tested each of the links and they connect to the online course. You have 5+ weeks after July 1^st to get this done if you are a fall sport coach. Fall sports begin on Monday, August 17^th with the exception of football that has heat acclimatization starting August 10^th. Those football coaches need this completed prior to August 7^th. Please do these as soon as you can and turn in those certificates so I can check you off as having taken the courses. I am asking that ALL head coaches forward or share these links with those on their staff so there are no hiccups and everyone meets the requirements. If you are not a fall sport coach then please know that your deadline will be either November 20^th (winter sports) or March 8^th (spring sports) to turn those certificates in.

CONCUSSION COURSES: (Only need to take one of the concussion courses.)

Also, below is the link for the PIAA Mandated Rules Interpretation meetings that those sports require the head coach to attend. Please check the link and find a rules meeting that fits your schedule. Failure on your part to attend will mean the fine of $100 or taking an online course at your expense to pass the requirement. You’ll find one in District 7 (WPIAL) or District 8 (Pittsburgh) to fit your needs.
