What Do We Do?

Educate

Our educational focus is dedicated to more than X's and O's. We see coaches as leaders—leaders who are role models to America's youth. We offer graduate college credit programs in Coaching Leadership. Specific Sports Clinics, Drug Abuse Prevention Seminars, as well as others to help you stay current with today's important issues.

Recognize

We recognize coaches not just for a season of coaching, but for their "lifetime achievements." The NHSACA Coach of the Year awards are the most prestigious awards given to high school coaches in America. Some 150 coaches earn the "National Spotlight" each June at our Annual Convention.

Support

Due to our National scope, we are able to provide many areas of support for our members including legal consultation via telephone regarding coaching issues. We also have a National voice in important issues facing America's High School Coaches and their athletes.
