MY REASON WHY
There are countless benefits to participating in high school sports and activities, but a lot of concerns as well. To overcome resistance and drive participation, #MyReasonWhy highlights diverse stories and memories shared by students, parents, coaches, officials and community members. We’re working together to show how participation not only develops individual skills and character for the future, but drives a stronger sense of self and community that students will feel immediately and for the rest of their lives. To share your story visit www.nfhs.org/MyReasonWhy and share your story.
AD’s TIP OF THE WEEK
Coach Licensure. State Law and NMAA Rules require that all interscholastic coaches (including volunteers) possess a coaching license issued by the Public Education Department. In the “For Athletic Directors” link under “Admin Hub” you can access the PED data base to determine whether your coaching applicants are properly licensed.
FEATURE STORY IDEAS
Attention Athletic Directors – If you have a student-athlete or a student in an activity at your school that you feel has a good story to tell, the NMAA would like to tell that story for you. Please email Tyler Dunkel at tyler@nmact.org or call at 505-923-3295 and share your feature story ideas.
COMPETE WITH CLASS NOMINATIONS
In an effort to establish and sustain the Compete with Class initiative, the NMAA will be highlighting acts of sportsmanship through various awards and recognition programs during the 2017-2018 school year. In order to do this, our office NEEDS YOUR HELP! Acts of sportsmanship by individuals, coaches, officials, administrators, spectators, or teams as a whole should be reported to the NMAA office as they occur. Photos of these acts would also be appreciated. Send your nominations to Tyler Dunkel at tyler@nmact.org.
