Re: [youthrowing] Starting a program from scratch

Talk to the high school first and find out what their club sport requirement are.
 
At the very least, you will need to show proof of insurance, have a schedule of training and race days/times, and a coach that can pass the back ground check.  You will also need to let them know the cost.
 
The school will most likely handle student eligibility and forms.  Each state has requirements for student atheletes and their coaches (training clases, first aid).
 
Good luck.  High school club sports is a pain compaired to regular club sports.  Lots of regulations and limitations, but ulitmately, worth it.

Subject: [youthrowing] Starting a program from scratch

How do I go about building a high school program from scratch? I have
two daughters entering our town high school, Westford Academy, in
Massachusetts over the next few years and they would like to compete at
that level. I'm assuming I'll need to get sponsorship, conduct
fundraising, and build awareness. Where do I start? Has anyone gone
through this process recently?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Chuck
