District officials at Ann Arbor Public Schools have started to explore options for coach professional development through the Michigan High School Athletic Association in the wake of an on-field football brawl between Huron and Pioneer.
The MHSAA’s Coaches Advancement Program (CAP) was among a list of steps for moving forward that Huron Athletic Director Dottie Davis compiled just five days after the Oct. 12 fight involving coaches and players.
CAP is an in-service coaches training program with six levels of certification. It was started in the 2007-08 school year and since its launch, nearly 12,000 coaches have completed at least one level of the program, said MHSAA Assistant Director Kathy Westdorp.
