"Quality Sports Begin With Quality Coaches"
In May of 2009 the Executive Committee of the Virginia High School League passed a coaches education initiative which requires all first time athletic coaches at VHSL member schools, and those athletic coaches who are exempted through the VHSL Coaches Rule 27-2-2(4) to complete an approved course in principles of coaching and sport first aid. Additionally, ALL athletic coaches are required to complete a VHSL component which familiarizes the coach with rules and regulations found in the VHSL Handbook as well as those found at the local school level.
BASIC COURSEThe Basic Course includes all coaching principles and sport first aid topics, plus the VHSL state and local component. Most coaches can complete the full online course in 4-5 hours.
The Basic Course is required of: - All first-time VHSL athletic coaches - All athletic coaches who are exempted through the VHSL Coaches Rule 27-2-2(4)
