OIAAA/OHSAA Summer Institute

Registration is now open for the OIAAA/OHSAA Summer Institute to be held in Columbus on June 20, 21 and 22, 2017. Last summer’s professional development sessions proved extremely popular as over 285 roster spots were filled for the different training sessions. If you have recently hired an athletic director for your school, or if you want to provide best-practice professional development for your current athletic administrator, the OIAAA Summer Institute is a great opportunity to enhance skills for interscholastic athletic program oversight. There will be sessions to provide guidance for newly-hired A.Ds as well as sessions that will enhance the performance of those currently in charge of your middle and high school athletic programs. Our OIAAA nationally certified instructors, along with some members of the OHSAA staff, will deliver this valuable training. New this summer will be a special “Outdoor Facilities Field Day” session which is open to not only A.Ds, but also your field operations staff as well as District Business personnel who oversee facilities and maintenance operations. This session will be a live “walk and talk” session with industry experts who will provide best-practices to insure field safety (field surface hardness/softness testing), current lighting technology, outdoor messaging and scoreboard options along with essential tips and considerations for schools whether you are upgrading, adding or renovating any outdoor athletic facility. For a complete list of OIAAA Summer Institute courses, events and registration information , go to https://www.oiaaa.org/news/2017/04/18/the-ohio-summer-leadership-institute/ Important to know, too: * Any newly-hired A.D. (or those who have never taken LTC 501 or 502) can receive LTC 501 and LTC 502 FREE OF CHARGE by registering for their 2017-2018 OIAAA/NIAAA membership prior to June 9th. * Attendees will receive CEU credit toward their local professional development plans from taking individual classes at the Summer Institute * The NIAAA Certified Athletic Administrator (CAA) exam will be offered on Thursday, June 22nd at 6:00 p.m. You must be pre-registered through the NIAAA to sit for the test. We hope you will encourage your middle school and/or high school athletic administrator to attend this important event.
