We need to thank this year’s OACA Executive Board for their outstanding leadership and guidance this school year. Special words of appreciation to this year’s Board President Jennifer Teeter, Imbler HS, and our outgoing Board Members: Jeff Stolsig, Lebanon HS, Howard Rub, Astoria HS and Tony Koontz, Harrisburg HS. Our leadership team is excited to have Shawn Stanley, West Salem HS as our 2017-18 OACA Board President. A complete list of the 2017-18 Executive Board and Sport Chairs can be found on our website: www.oregoncoach.org. Last month, we honored over 350 coaches and family members at the 32nd Annual OACA Awards Banquet. In 1986 the first OACA “Coach of the Year” Banquet was held with 50-60 coaches in attendance. 1986 also marked the year where the OACA began recognizing and honoring graduating senior student/athletes of our association members. This year we received 47 quality applications for our scholarships, with our selection committee choosing ten to receive $1,000 scholarships. For a complete list of all the scholarship award winners see page 5 of the newsletter. With the ten scholarship award winners this year, a total of $220,000 have been awarded to OACA families over the 32 years of the scholarship program. We greatly appreciate our Sponsors, BSN Sports, Hudl, MaxPreps, Prime Time Sports, Oregon State Credit Union and Dave Dowling, who provide funds that go directly to our scholar athletes. Over 1,800 coaches participated in our coaching clinics offered this year. We are excited to have added a Golf Clinic and two Tennis Clinics to our annual list of professional development opportunities for our state high school coaches. This summer we will be involved with numerous All-Star Games, including the Les Schwab Bowl Football Game, a Volleyball All-Star Series @EOU, separate Boys and Girls Basketball Games and a Soft- ball All-Star Series at the UO. REMINDERS: Oregon Coaches Directory: Starting next school year we will no longer provide a hard copy of the Oregon Coaches Directory as a benefit with OACA membership. Cost of production and distribution continues to rise and our Board decided to provide an online directory for membership. Beginning in August you can find the OACA directory with school and athletic administration contact information and a list of all head coaches on our website: oregoncoach.org New Camp Insurance Requirement - Participant/Accident Coverage: As an OACA member benefit, you will continue to have General Liability coverage for your coaching activities (for example, State Association sanctioned All-Star Events, camps, other coaching activities and class- room coverage). The new requirement from the General Liability Company is that if a coach operates/conducts a camp, he/she must have Participant/Accident coverage for all participants/campers attending the camp. Member coaches have the option of providing proof of existing Participant/Accident coverage or to purchase the coverage at a discounted rate through the NOCAD Camp Insurance Program. Contact our Insurance Administrator with any questions: Greg Joly, email: [email protected], phone: 800-566-6479 Coaching is a helping profession. As a coach, we have tremendous influence and impact on our student/ athletes. A cardinal principle for all helping professionals is, “Take care of yourself first, in order to take care of others.” Coaching and teaching today’s high school student/athletes is a demanding profession, and the better your mental and physical condition, the better able you will be to help your athletes. A healthy mental and physical lifestyle leads to a better and productive coach. I would challenge each of you this summer to take the time to relax, spend time with family, and reenergize yourself. We have a tendency to put so much of our- selves into others that we often forget to take care of ourselves and our families. Have a great summer, and take the time to do the things that we don’t have time to do during the school year. Read, relax, exercise, etc. and prepare yourself for another great 2017-18 school year. The OACA is here to help and serve the High School Coaches in our state. If we can be of assistance, please contact us WISHING YOU A GREAT SUMMER! 2 2017 OACA AWARDS BANQUET On May 20th we held our 32nd annual Oregon Athletic Coaches Association Awards Banquet. We had another record turnout this year with over 350 coaches and family members in attendance at this event, which took place in the University of Oregon’s beautiful Autzen Stadium Club Level facility. Please see a complete list of award winners on the following 4 pages. In addition to coaching awards, we also presented plaques to our Years of Service (YOS) honorees.
