Coaches Committee Minutes:

OASSA Cheer and Dance Coaches Committee Structure 

CHEER AND DANCE COACHES COMMITTEES

  • Two separate Committees will be seated. One for OASSA Cheer and one for OASSA Dance.
    • General Committee membership in either committee is open to all constituents in the target job descriptions, so all Ohio Interscholastic Cheer and Dance Coaches/Advisors are invited to participate. OASSA will not limit the numbers on any coaches committee. There is value in maintaining a group that is big enough to be representative of the field and ensures that many different perspectives on issues are heard. Our goal is to ensure that all regions, divisions, categories, and school sizes are represented.  To help support the Coaches Committees and provide representation for the coaches on each committee, a Steering Committee has been established.
  • OASSA Cheer and Dance Steering Committee:
    • The Steering Committee has nine members. Those nine members include: the OASSA Cheer and Dance Director, an individual coach selected by OASSA as an “At-Large” representative, and coach representatives from each Coaches Committee (4-Cheer; 3-Dance). The 9-member Steering Committee will be co-chaired by the OASSA Cheer and Dance Director and the “At-Large” representative.
