Does KHSAA require coaches - regardless of the sport - to be 21 years of age?

Head coaches have to have 64 credit hours. Assistants have to be at least 21.

You can be a para, but you still must have at least 64 hours, although I believe there is a class/seminar that you can take if you are short of this requirement. At least in my school district.

My opinion is that a Head coach of any sport should require they be at least 25 years of age. Whether they are qualified by state regulations or not. I witnessed 2 head coaches of 2 totally different sports this past year make some pretty bad ill advised decisions. One worse than the other......Just not mature enough to lead our children. I also think coaches should require Asst coaching experience as well before leading a team. Way too may coaches are awarded Head Coaching positions just because......JMO!

 

Why 25? I don't know....I had to come up with something!
