Coaching 101

Welcome to CHSSA Coaching 101. You are joining hundreds of coaches from across the state who are part of the greatest educational activity that our students can participate in. The coaches that make up the Forensics community are some of the best, and brightest educators in their fields. However, not all of us have experience with the world of forensics. If that’s you, then you have come to the right place.
