It is highly recommended local school boards hire coaches or activity advisors who are trained to be a certified teacher or possess a valid certificate.
NOTE: Head coaches are required to complete mandatory clinics in sports and fine arts activities for which clinics are conducted. Penalty for failure to complete a regular clinic shall result in a $50.00 fine assessed to the school for each offense for said school year.
A fine for a given activity must be paid prior to the school being allowed to participate in that NDHSAA sponsored post-season event. (June 2012)
