Student co-coaches should be in the Senior Division. Student co-coaches must have an adult co-coach who will be responsible for team/individual registration, making payments to NC FPS, supervising competitive problems, and attending State Bowl.
It is strongly encouraged that the student co-coach have a minimum of three years of experience participating in the FPS component they intend to coach. Additionally, new student co-coaches must attend NC FPS Coach Training (either in person or virtually, if offered) or an equivalent training session approved by the NC FPS Affiliate Director.
Students in the Middle Division who wish to coach can gain experience as an assistant to an adult coach until they reach Senior Division.
