President’s Message

Derek Maki, CMAA

Happy New Year and welcome to 2012. You are finishing up your winter season and looking forward to spring. Your long days and nights are appreciated. The job you do every day can never be fully appreciated by anyone else other than a fellow athletic administrator.

Having recently returned from the national conference in Indianapolis, I feel rejuvenated and current with added knowledge on a variety of

current topics. The workshops always have an appeal to those who want to stay on top of their game. If you have not been able to attend a national conference, please think about making plans for San Antonio next year. And don’t forget, Maryland will be privileged to host in 2014. It should be an exciting time and there will be plenty of opportunities for people to volunteer in different capacities.

I’m pleased to report that Maryland was awarded a citation for continuing to increase the number of members who are part of the NIAAA. Remember, our national organization is now accredited by the board of directors of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditation and School Improvement. The NFHS and the NIAAA have partnered to produce Public Service Announcements (PSAs). These PSAs tout the benefits of Education Based Athletics and are state-specific. The MPSSAA has sent the PSAs to all the radio stations in Maryland, so as you listen to your favorite radio station listen for our PSAs.

The highlight of the weekend, for me, was being present to see two of my colleagues from Baltimore County receive recognition for their efforts in educating and sharing their knowledge with others. Dr. David Hoch received the NFHS Citation and Mr. Ron Belinko was presented the prestigious Frank Kovaleski Professional Development award. Both of these fine gentlemen have been mentors and role models for me in my relatively short time in athletic administration.

Two other important developments out of Indy were the appointment of our Section 2 president Phil Rison, as the incoming president of the NIAAA and the approval of our own Karl Heimbach, current 1st vice president, to the

board of directors from Section 2, effective in December of 2012.

I hope all of you will make plans to attend the 36th annual MSADA Conference in Ocean City, Maryland, April 26-29, 2012. The Maryland State Athletic Directors Association is actively preparing to make this conference a memorable experience for all. Plan to register early and take advantage of the many professional opportunities that will be offered. These will include LTI classes, motivating speakers, the awards banquet and many vendors. Don’t forget to add in some leisure activities while at the conference with our annual golf outing and our visit to Phillips Seafood House.


CongratulationsRon Belinko, CMAA, was the 6th recipient of the FRANK KOVALESKI PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AWARD. This award was established by the NIAAA Board of Directors at the recommendation of the Awards Committee in 2007 and is presented to a recipient who possesses and has contributed to the vision of Professional

Development and the legacy of Frank Kovaleski. Frank was instrumental in the creation of the Leadership Training Program and the expansion of the Certification Program of the NIAAA. The Frank Kovaleski Award is presented annually to an NIAAA member who has made significant contributions and demonstrated excellence in professional development at the local, state and national levels.

Dr. David Hoch, CMAA received a NATIONAL FEDERATION of STATE HIGH SCHOOL ASSOCIATIONS CITATION. Citations are presented to outstanding athletic administrators in recognition of contributions to interscholastic athletics at the local, state and national levels.

The Maryland State Coaches Association

As you promote and encourage your coaches to take NFHS Coaching Education courses and to ultimately earn their national Accredited Interscholastic Coaching certification, don’t forget that they can get a $100 refund from the MSCA. It really is very easy.

First, your coaches have to be a member of the MSCA. After renewing their membership or joining initially, they take the three courses which are necessary to earn their certification. As soon as they pay the $10 certification fee, their completion date will be posted in the www.nfhslearn.com data base.

And here’s what your coaches should do in order to receive their refund – and there still is money available in the account:

1. E-mail Dr. David Hoch, CMAA at [email protected]

2. Mention the name of the high school where they coach

3. Include the sport they coach4. And that’s all they have to do

After checking the MSCA membership data bank to ensure that the coach is a member, the executive director will go to the ‘Coach Search’ feature on the NFHSlearn Website to verify that he/she completed his/her certification. Within a few days, a check will be sent to you, the athletic director. In this manner, you will know which of your coaches have earned their certification.

Oh, and then please give the refund check to the successful coach.

The unofficial leader for coaching certification in the state, in terms of the number of coaches who have earned their AIC, would be Col. Zadok Magruder and Hancock High Schools. These two schools would probably be followed by Franklin High School and Kenwood High School. Where does your school rank?

If you send David Hoch a list of the coaches who have earned their certification at your school, an unofficial ranking can be developed. Get your coaches certified and remind them to join the MSCA! Membership in the MSCA is still the best bargain and professional opportunity in the country!

NFHS Coaching Education and Certification

The National Federation has added, as is their practice, several new courses to their offerings. They definitely follow the maxim coined by Lee Iacocca, the former CEO of the Chrysler Corporation of the 1980’s. “You are either moving forward or falling behind, because there is no such thing as remaining static.”

What’s new? The Strength and Conditioning Course, developed by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) will be available soon and it will cost $50. This course defines terms specific to performance, demonstrates proper technique and provides everything that a coach should know regarding strength and conditioning.

Late spring of 2012, Creating a Safe and Respectful Environment will join the NFHS Coaching Education offerings. It will initially cost $20, but the NFHS is hopeful that it can be converted to one of their excellent free courses.

Creating a Safe and Respectful Environment will cover inappropriate relationships and behavior, hazing, bullying/cyber bullying, and how the electronic media plays a role in the behavior. The course includes several example lawsuits that highlight the importance of understanding the critical line that coaches cannot cross and it will also be available later this spring.

The First Aid Course is being updated and will also include specific content from the NFHS Sports Medicine Handbook. This revision should be available by the end of May at a cost of $35.

The following are new and ready for your coaches to take right now:• Fundamentals of Coaching Boys’ Lacrosse• Fundamentals of Coaching Girls’ Lacrosse• Health and Wellness – which includes the topics of

supplements, hydration, etc.

In addition to the two basic offerings of Fundamentals of Coaching Course and the First Aid Course, the NFHS now offers 11 sport specific courses, 6 electives and 3 free courses. Not only should there be something for every one of your coaches, but you also have a number of very good options for remediation steps based on your coaching evaluations.

NFHS Coaching CertificationDo you remember that the NFHS Coaching Certification has been embraced all around the country? The following associations have fully and enthusiastically endorsed the certification program:• National Interscholastic Athletic Administrators

Association• National Association of Secondary School Principals• National School Boards Association

The certification fee for your coaches, of course they have to complete the required courses first, is now only $10. Your coaches can still receive a recognition pin or wooden framed certificate which will cost a little bit more.

If you have questions about either the courses or certification, please go to www.nfhslearn.com. Please encourage your coaches to take the NFHS courses and to complete their certification!

And Maryland as a state is doing fairly well! Maryland recently moved from 5th place nationally up to 3rd in the country based upon the most recent total number of coaches completing their Accredited Interscholastic Coach Certification.

Maryland is only 6 completions behind Arizona and California is in 1st place. Considering the size of these states (and the ones that we passed to move into 3rd) and the number of high schools that they have, this is an impressive accomplishment for Maryland and, of course, the coaches and athletic directors.

Coaching TodayIf you haven’t had a chance yet to read the article about Coaching Today, the NFHS on-line coaching magazine, in the January issue of High School Today, please do!

Add Coaching Today to your website “Favorites,” and encourage your coaches to visit the site regularly! Each month, new practical and helpful articles are posted. And there is no cost to your coaches. The site is free.


Webinars Coming This SpringThe NIAAA will be webinar teaching LTC 501, 502, 504, 506, 508, 511, 617 and 700 via the internet in the spring of 2012. The athletic administrator will be able to view the course from the convenience of their home or office. Administrators will also have the opportunity to pose live questions and the class can be divided into discussion groups with the capability of receiving reports from each groups. What better way to take a class?

Our suggestion would be to use the computer that is connected to the greatest bandwidth (DSL, Cable or T-1 line). However you can get the broadcast with a 56K / dial up modem typically used with home computers. The only issue here is that this type of internet connection will be slower since pictures/PowerPoint take longer to download. You will also need access to a phone in the same location where you are using the computer.

Equipment NeededPersonal Computer and telephone.

The state has approved construction funding in fiscal year 2012 for a 1,600-student capacity high school in Charles County. St. Charles High School, will be the seventh high school in the county, and the 14th school in the Southern Maryland Athletic Conference. This will make scheduling interesting in the next few years. The school will be located on Billingsley Road adjacent to

the Regency Furniture Stadium in White Plains. Athletic features include a football stadium with an eight-lane track; bleacher seating for 1,500 home/500 visitors; 14 fields including football, baseball, softball, soccer, field hockey and lacrosse and eight tennis courts. If built, the 20,000-foot pool area will contain a six-lane, 25-yard pool, spectator seating for 200 and separate locker rooms to make the pool available after hours for community use. Due to the growth in the SMAC, the Board of Control is researching methods of scheduling for all sports, but with special emphasis on football. Currently, there are two proposals to be voted on in the near future. One proposal is based on classification, and the other is a regional proposal.

District 7Coach Bill Wardle of Aberdeen High School has received the 2011 Coach of the Year for the state level in Boys Soccer from the NFHS. His team has averaged 10 wins in the last four years.

One athlete is currently in the Air Force and stationed overseas and plays for the Air Force Soccer team.

He taught physical education and coached football and basketball at Milford Mill High School. In 1969, when Randallstown High School opened, Jim was named athletic director and head football coach. During his tenure at Randallstown, he established a premier athletic program and was a mentor to many coaches in the state. Under his direction the Randallstown football program was one of the best in the State. He coached the Rams to several undefeated seasons. In 1972, before the MPSSAA sponsored a state football tournament, Randallstown won the old District III title by defeating Harford County power Bel Air High School. In 1978 and 1980, his teams were state runners up, losing both years to a powerful Springbrook High School. In 1989, Jim was inducted into the Maryland High School Football Coaches Association’s Hall of Fame and in 2002; he was inducted into the Maryland State Athletic Directors Association’s Hall of Fame.

Section 2 UpdatePhil Rison, CMAA

Section 2 Members, as I send out this update, we close out the 2011 year, which has been a very good year for the NIAAA. In February the NIAAA was granted a five year accreditation by the board of directors of the North Central Association. This is a crowning achievement for our organization, and communicates to our local and state educational associations that we are an organization that is committed to continuous improvement and the quality assurance of our programs and professional services. What a great conference, hats off to the Indiana Host Committee and the NFHS/NIAAA conference advisory committee for an outstanding line-up of workshops and speakers. San Antonio in 2012, please mark your calendar for December 14-18, 2012.

NIAAA NEWS• Seven courses will be reviewed in 2012, LTC 612, 613,

614, and 608 will be reviewed in February and LTC 700, 701 and 790 will be reviewed in July. Please investigate our 90 minute and 4 hour staff in-service modules; they are great opportunities for school districts to utilize.

• Hall of Fame categories now consist of two areas; Pre-1977 Category and Post 1977 Category. A state can nominate one person in each category every year.

• Grant Opportunities with PlexiTrac, a $30,000 grant is available for a new track or resurfacing of an existing track. The application deadline is February 1 for each year.

• We are pleased to announce a new sponsor agreement with Riddell effective Jan 1, 2011.

• The NFHS and the NIAAA have partnered to produce Public Service Announcements (PSA). These PSA’s tout the benefits of Education Based Athletics. They are professionally produced and state specific. Please help us get the word out in our communities.

• If you are unable to receive E-News from the NIAAA. Please notify your members to make sure their school firewall is not blocking this communication or other communications from the NIAAA.

• The NIAAA has approved the cost of replacing LTC Course certificates to individuals at $10 for electronic copies and $15 for a mailed hard copy. Please remind individuals taking LTC courses to pick up their certificates after completing courses and to make copies for their files so they do not have to order them at a later date for a fee.

• Congratulations to the NIAAA Scholarship Award Winner for 2011 Molly Cain, from Seaford, Delaware who represented Section 2 as a National Winner, as she shared her essay with our members. Outstanding job Molly! The scholarship committee finalized a checklist for the NIAAA Scholarship Award. The

checklist will hopefully help you with the process of promoting and selecting your NIAAA Scholarship Award Winners. As we discussed at our Sectional meeting, I encourage all states to make a consecrated effort in participation of student/athletes in each state. Section 2 has been so fortunate to have had two past National winners.
