With the spring season now getting into full swing, the potential for player’s sustaining serious injuries from a portable goal post that has not been properly anchored or stored will also increase. If you are wondering what can possibly happen if the goals are not checked regularly check this out.

In order to insure that no one in South Texas sustains any of these unnecessary and preventable injuries coaches and/or their assistants must inspect any portable goals PRIOR TO ANY FIELD ACTIVITY taking place to assure that portable goals being used have been properly anchored and secured.

Coach License Update Procedure FAQs

With the Spring 2009 season just around the corner coaches and registrars are scrambling to make sure that the Affinity database has been updated with the necessary information so that their teams will meet all the coach licensing requirements. Although information regarding this process has been distributed to Association Registrars several times and has not changed from what was originally put out in November 2007, it would appear that the process details have not yet trickled down to everyone, especially coaches, assistant coaches and trainers.

So, to help make sure everyone knows what to do, we have compiled a list of Frequently Asked Questions related to how to update your coach license information to help you stay or get in compliance.

If you need more information or have a question not already addressed please do not hesitate to contact the State Office at 512 272-4553.
