KHSAA Releases Additional Requirement for KY Soccer Coaches for '09 Season


By Doug.Lucas - Posted on 02 July 2009

[The following email arrived this morning in coaches' inboxes directly from KHSAA Ass't Commissioner Julian Tackett.]
Thanks in no small part to the help of the member Doctors of the Kentucky Medical Association and their sports medicine partners, the Certified Athletic Trainers from the Kentucky Athletic Trainers Society, we are please to be able to roll out the new Sports First Aid Course for Kentucky High School Athletic Association member schools. The courses are completely online and may be viewed by the public or may be viewed for credit by member school coaches.
Complete instructions are listed below.
Keep in mind that this new requirement, stemming from the passage of HB383 by the 2009 Kentucky General Assembly, is for ALL coaches (head or assistant) at KHSAA member schools by the conclusion of the 2009-2010 school year. For the start of the 2009-2010 school year, the legislation requires at least one person who has completed the course, or one person who is legally able to teach the course (a Doctor, Certified Trainer, D.O., Registered Nurse or Physical Therapist admitted to practice in Kentucky), to be present for the entirety of any practice or competition involving Kentucky high schools. Therefore, we anticipate most schools sending all coaches through the course immediately to avoid having to shut down activities in mid-stream if the sole qualified individual is unable to attend a practice or contest. The 2009-2010 provision is solely to allow a phase in period for all coaches to have completed the course.
This requirement is totally separate from the required Medical Symposium for head coaches, and should not be confused in terms of regulatory requirements. Please contact our office if you have any questions throughout the process.
