In this blog edition, I would like to issue a reminder to administrators concerning the KHSAA Member School System in regards to how non-KHSAA member school coaches (i.e. Middle school) are to take the online Sports Safety Course Modules.

Non-KHSAA Member School viewing of Online KHSAA/KMA Sports Safety Course

We have received phone calls and emails concerning the method in which non-KHSAA Member School coaches are to take the course (primarily in regards to Middle School coaches). In the future, there may be a secure login area where this can maintained, but that will not be developed until final resolution of the regulation regarding middle school governance. Until that time, the following procedure will continue to apply.

The coach simply needs:

1. Go to our main website (http://khsaa.org/)
2. Select “KHSAA/KMA Safety Course” from the “Special Programs Menu” (direct link: http://khsaa.org/httpdocs/safety_course/index.php)
3. Select the first menu option “Don’t Take For Credit” at which point, the module list will appear on the lower portion of the screen.
4. They watch each module at the end of which they need to print out the module’s Congratulations/Completion Screen (See Figure 2 below).  
5. They then click on the “Click here to return to course list” link to watch the remaining modules.  So when completed, they will 8 Completion “Certificates” to present to their administrator.

Do NOT simply add the coaches to your listing, allow them to take it, and delete them. This will alter your Title IX counts as those coaching assignments are recorded when changes are made. This will result in inaccurate data being submitted on behalf of your school.
