Head Coaches’ Meetings

The head coach is responsible for the coordination and management of those athletes from the delegation competing in a given sport. The head coach is primarily responsible for ensuring that athletes are at the various competition sites and events, properly equipped, and trained for that event. Any problems relating to a given athlete during the sports activities will be addressed to the head coach.
