We are always in need of coaches to help work with our team. It is required by the MN Clay Target League that we have 1 coach per 2 lanes we occupy. It would be even better if we had a 1 to 1 ratio!

Coach training is required and provided by the MN State High School Clay Target League at a cost of $50, which, in turn, is reimbursed by our booster club to thank you for your support!


The CLASS Certification program has been designed specifically for coaches participating in the state-affiliated leagues of the USA High School Clay Target League. The League’s CLASS Certification provides a comprehensive and interactive online education and training program designed specifically for League coaches. The CLASS Certification is available to all coaches and takes 5-6 hours of online training to complete.

  • One head coach for each team may complete the CLASS Certification for free. A single-use promotional code will be sent to all new head coaches in the League’s Welcome Email.
  • Assistant coaches or volunteers may complete the CLASS Certification for $50 each.
  • Only CLASS-Certified coaches may conduct the SAFE Range Certification program for student athletes to complete the SAFE Certification.
  • All coaches registered with the League receive General Liability Insurance.
  • All coaches that complete the CLASS Certification receive an official iron-on certificate patch from the USA High School Clay Target League.

 

Benefits of the CLASS Certification

Many benefits include:

  • Free – for one Head Coach per team.
  • Affordable – other coaches can take the course for less than most shotgun coach training programs.
  • Accessible – available online to everyone with tablet, smartphone or computer.
  • Comprehensive – the online course takes 5-6 hours to complete and no travel required.
  • Fun – animated graphics, sound, and interactive learning make it entertaining.
  • Convenient – progress can be saved at anytime to work around busy schedules.
  • Relevant – it’s all about clay target shooting sports, youth, and firearm safety.
  • Consistent – CLASS-Certified coaches and SAFE-Certified student athletes learn the same content.
  • Support – dedicated Coach Education and Support Manager available to assist with all questions.

Range Safety Officer The Range Safety Officer (RSO) will possess the knowledge and skills essential to organizing, conducting and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations. One RSO must be present at no more than two adjoining fields during all times when a student athlete participates in League events. The RSO’s responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring all shotguns and ammunition are handled safely at all times.

• Supervising preparation of the shooting range according to technical, safety, and target requirements.

• Ensuring the correct application of guns, ammunition and equipment is being used.

• Ensuring proper hearing and eye protection is worn by athletes.

SCORERS NEEDED!

Parent volunteer scorers are needed for each field that we shoot on. Please sign up for a time slot to help the team! Sign ups can be found at practices and competitions. Special training/certification is not required to score.

SAMPLE SCORESHEET

Here is a sample scoresheet.  It is not exactly what you will find on the field, but you get an idea of what it will look like and what you need to do. For every target hit, you make a hash mark, and for every miss, you make a circle. Announce any misses you mark so if there is a dispute, it can happen while the shooter is still aware.
