Officials/Coaches Workshop
On August 22nd, an Officials/Coaches Workshop will be held at Fairmont Christian Center, 6109 Fairmont , Pasadena, Texas from 1pm to 4pm. It is mandatory for all ADs and Head Coaches to attend the meeting. However, we know that there are circumstances beyond our control that sometimes keep us from attending meetings. Therefore, we wanted to make sure everyone had the information that was presented. The following are several documents that were distributed and discussed at the workshop.
The TIFI Rules and the NCAA Rules can be found through the "Rules and Regulations" link.
NYSCA
Per TIFI rule 1.04A, clubs are required to have 2 NYSCA certified coaches at every practice, club function, and game. The rule requires that the AD and the Head Coaches of each level (Freshmen, Sophomore, Junior, and Senior) take the certification. However, it is open to all coaches. TIFI has held 2 training sessions. However, if you missed them, the training is available on line. Visit www.nays.org to become certified. The information you will need is the chapter name (Texas Intercity Football Inc) and the chapter number (4945). The online cost is $25. If you take the course on line, please email Bob Faughtenberry to let him know that certification is forth coming.
