The NFHS Coach Education Program assists its member state associations by providing a coaches education program which will enhance the skills and knowledge necessary to teach meaningful life-long lessons to all student participants and to support the achievement of educational goals.
The National Federation of State High School Associations is proud to bring you the best on coach training. The courses have been designed to help the interscholastic teacher/coach learn and be able to teach the skills of his/her sport, and create the conditions necessary for students to become better athletes by mastering new skills, enjoying competition with others, and experiencing enhanced self-esteem. As professionals as the interscholastic level, we put the student first and the athlete second, so the athletic experience becomes a vehicle to promote learning.
