LEADERSHIP TRAINING Courses are being offered at the Fall OIAAA Conference scheduled for Sunday, October 3, 2010, at the CROWNE PLAZA COLUMBUS NORTH.

This offer is only valid for the October 2010 Conference.

The LTC core courses of 501, 502, 504 will be offered. LTC 501 serves as an overview for interscholastic athletic administration. LTC 502 takes a basic approach to the fundamentals and methods of athletic administration. This course is strongly recommended for new athletic administrators. LTC 504 Legal Issues I has an in-depth coverage of all aspects of liability for sports injuries and risk management. It is a 5 hour course and must have a minimum of 9 registered in order to be held. In order to assist CMAA candidates reach that Certification Level 2 LTC 600 series courses will be offered. The 2 LTC 600 courses are LTC 619 The Power of Curb Appeal and LTC 630 Interscholastic Contest Management. LTC 619 points out that visitors to a school often form an opinion of the school and community based on first impressions of the appearance of the facilities. Strategies and methods are provided for maintaining structures and facilities. Enrollees who will derive the greatest benefit from this course will be administrators seeking techniques and methods to enhance public confidence in the administrators ability to maintain athletic facilities and to project a positive image to the community LTC 630 Interscholastic Contest Management  Planning, Preparation and Methods. This is a new course that was first offered in December, 2009, at the NIAAA Conference in Grapevine, TX. This course provides guidance and samples of high school contest management methods and procedures currently in use throughout the United States. Enrollees who will derive the greatest benefit will be administrators seeking to increase knowledge of improving local event planning methods through study of basic and enhanced plans currently in use throughout the country.

The reason for having a minimum number of enrollees in any LT course is to ensure that there will be a variety of class participation. Information on any LT courses or programs can be found on this website. Click on the Leadership Training Information link at the top of the page.
