my bad, i looked in the wrong section. I read:
RULE 10 – All coaches must be approved by the principal, superintendent, and/or local board of
education. Any coach who is not a full-time employee of the school system and does not possess a
teacher’s certificate or the equivalent or is not a retired educator must attend the TSSAA Coaches
Training Session within his or her first year of assuming the position. A fine of $50.00 will be assessed
to the school if the coach does not attend and he or she will be required to attend the next available
meeting. All non-faculty coaches must complete the NFHS Coaches Education Program in a TSSAA-
approved course within five years of assuming the position.
Schools must submit the names of all non-faculty coaches to the state office each year. A school must
pay an annual registration fee of $40.00 per coach. The maximum fee for a school to register non-
faculty coaches will be $100.00 per year.
