Colorado Coaches Code of Ethics “The Colorado High School Coaches Association has existed for over 70 years to provide clinics , service, and benefits for coaches. The expectation was that coaches would be role models for young people in their behavior and attitude. As society has evolved and our organization tries to remain current, the need to specify the proper behavior and conduct for coaches has become a necessity;  it can no longer be an unwritten code. This code of ethics is established to give fundamental standards for coaches to live by.” -Associate Director Dick Katte The Colorado High School Coaches Association (CHSCA), with direction and support from the Colorado High School Activities Association (CHSAA), has adopted a Coaches Code of Ethics in a continued effort to develop outstanding coaches in Colorado. Both the CHSCA Board a n d t h e C H S A A C o a c h i n g E d u c a t i o n C o m m i t t e e h a v e approved the document. “Coaches play such a vital role in educationally-based athletic programs, and the more that we can do as an association to give them tools to become better at their craft, the better. It has been a useful and inspirational process to look closely at the role of coaches. Now, we strongly encourage the high school athletic departments to continue the process by taking the time to utilize this resource as they are training and working with coaches.” Associate Director Becky Mudd MEMBERSHIP We currently have over 2000 members, but many leagues are still not represented for all state voting.

MultiSport Clinic In July we held the largest clinic in recent history hosting over 700 coaches. Special thanks goes to Directors Bob Marken and Troy Baker. One of the highlights of this year was the addition of non-sport specific sessions including such items as “Coaching the Female Athlete” and “Balancing Coaching and Family.” As we move into the future we will be adding special sessions for first year coaches as well as improving our offerings in sport specific training. Plan to attend with your staff in 2018.
