Coaching is a very important and fulfilling role. Beyond their parents, research shows that the next most important influence on a child’s upbringing is their sports coach. As with our participants, coaches are learning and developing along their own pathway. We strive to provide every opportunity for learning that a coach wishes to pursue. In additional, the KYSA is dedicated to providing our coaches with the technical and professional resources to succeed in their role.
If you are interested in a coaching position with the KYSA please review the information provided via the links below and apply accordingly.

RESPONSIBLE COACHING MOVEMENT (RCM)
The goal of the RCM is to promote a safe sport environment and support Sport Organizations to proactively and voluntarily take measures to ensure the safety of their sport. By taking the pledge, organizations are making a commitment to ensuring that they have policies and procedures in place that protect athletes and coaches in their organization and sport.
KYSA has taken the pledge
“Our sport organization pledges to align our practices with the Responsible Coaching Movement and is committed to ensuring that our athletes and coaches are protected”
