Did You Know???????
This year, Las Animas High School is offering an Introduction to Coaching and Officiating class for Juniors and Seniors that is taught by Mr. Cody Hines. Students are learning the fundamentals of coaching, and going through the process of becoming certified officials. This course will provide opportunities for students to officiate recreational sports and possibly work up toward junior high and junior varsity levels. All seven students have passed their baseline courses to become certified coaches and officials! We are continuing to refine our skills through creating practice plans, understanding zones and hand signals, and working on defining sport specific terminology. The course will follow the seasons, so by the end of the year we will have students ready to coach and/or officiate football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling, and baseball.
