Training Overview
Are your coaching contracts legal? Discover essential employment considerations.
As the second semester begins, it’s time to evaluate your employment agreements with coaches. While schools rely heavily on coaches to train student-athletes, there are legal considerations for these volunteers and employees.

Board policies, administrative regulations, employee handbook provisions, individual contracts, laws, and constitutional requirements all play significant roles in defining the relationship.
