The MHSAA recently had a Board Meeting and will be placing a special emphasis on Coaching for the next year. We will be introducing an introductory 3 hour Course called Call Me Coach. This is a collaborative effort between MHSAA, Coaching Manitoba, CAC and Canadian School Sports Federation. This course will include basic philosophies of high school sport as well as a number of scenarios to discuss.
We are also going to be introducing a Mentorship Program. This will see a number of veteran coaches being grouped with rookie coaches. The vets will answer questions via e-mail, and assist them in practice planning, dealing with parents, setting policy, setting team expectations, etc.
We are also working with Alberta to deliver their new Athletic Administrators course to Winnipeg. This is a very exciting initiative, an can be a great resource for all teachers and coaches.
There will be some super things happening next year to benefit coaches,
