Coaching Obligations

Important Notice to all Volleyball Athletic Directors and Coaches: It is possible you have coaches who have obligations to complete prior to Friday in order to be involved with your school's volleyball team should it qualify for the state finals this weekend. These obligations would include meeting the IHSA Coaching Certification Standards, completing the Performance Enhancing Substance exam, and the Concussion exam. If you have any questions, please contact the IHSA office. Our office for years has consistently supported officials who have properly enforced NFHS rules as it relates to bench/player behavior and will continue to do so. However, we continue to see examples in games across the state where too many players and coaches act unsportsmanlike and respond disrespectfully to contest officials. This has to stop. You are reminded that it is our expectation that coaches and players who display unsporting behaviors are to be penalized by contest officials in accordance with NFHS rules. Unsporting behaviors would include, but not be limited to, acts of a flagrant nature, taunting, or being out of the coach’s box. We have reminded our officials of this expectation, and we hope you inform your coach and players of this as well. As school administrators, it is our hope that you are setting clear behavioral expectations for your coaches and players and holding them accountable when they fall short of those. While we do not anticipate any problems and look forward to working with your school should they advance to the state finals on Friday, we wanted you to know our expectations for the week ahead, and we will be expecting your assistance in helping all of us meet those.

IHSA Event Security Policy To help insure the safest and most secure atmosphere for this IHSA State Final, event management at HEHS will diligently maintain the above standards. This will require complete cooperation by all competing teams, contest officials and fans.
