The KHSAA wanted to remind Superintendents, Principals, Athletic Directors and Coaches about gaining access to the coaches’ box at the state championships for Competitive Cheer and Dance.

Coaches’ certifications will be checked in order to obtain a coaching credential or complimentary access.

• Coaches need to be Bylaw 25 certified and be sure all requirements are up to date.
• This requirement includes being current on the rules clinic, sports safety course and a valid date entered for the expiration of CPR certification.
• As a reminder, a maximum of four (4) certified coaches, including assistants, choreographers, etc. are permitted inside the box. 
• If your school has more than four (4) certified coaches listed in the KHSAA database, those coaches will only be granted complimentary admission to the venue, but are not permitted on the competition floor in the box. 

Please be sure to contact Assistant Commissioner Sarah Bridenbaugh (sbridenbaugh@khsaa.org) for questions concerning Competitive Cheer and Assistant Commissioner Michael Barren (mbarren@khsasa.org) for questions pertaining to Dance.
