LINKS

Yes, golf season is right around the corner, but I want to talk about a differnt kind of LINK...to your right there are a few links that will take you to permission slips, schedules, and more. One link in particular that I think many will find interesting and insightful is the "High School Today" link. High School Today is the publication of the National Federation of High Schools (NFHS).

The NFHS "has led the development of education-based interscholastic sports and activities that help students succeed in their lives. We set directions for the future by building awareness and support, improving the participation experience, establishing consistent standards and rules for competition, and helping those who oversee high school sports and activities. The NFHS publishes playing rules in 16 sports for boys and girls competition and administers fine arts programs in speech, theater, debate and music. It provides a variety of program initiatives that reach the 18,500 high schools and over 11 million students involved in athletic and activity programs" (source: NFHS.org).

The website and magazine are resources for anyone interested in coaching, current coaches, student-athletes, parents of student-athletes, and administrators. The state of Vermont requires that all varsity coaches take at least two of the classes they offer before they finish their first year of coaching in the state (Fundamentals of Coaching and Sports First Aid).

The link I have posted will take you to the High School Today page, where you will be able to view, in PDF format, the current issues of High School Today. There you will find articles about the current state of Co-curricular activities around the country. January's issue has a great article on fan sportsmanship, and what one school did to change the climate at their games.

Check back frequently to see if I have added any other links. Enjoy
