Only State Coaching Bands can be purchased on line. District coaching bands are only available for purchase at each district event.
State Coaching Bands: $15.00
In the effort to increase the quality of this O.A.C event, we would ask that you as a coach/parent/fan please read through our expectations on Sportsmanship. After reading check the box at the bottom to purchase your State coaching band. You can pick the band up at the State tournament will call window and the coaching bands at the pre-purchase coaching band table. You will need a photo I. D. to pick it up.
Fundamentals of Sportsmanship
- Show respect for self and others at all times
- Respect the officials. Have the willingness to accept and abide by the decisions of the officials.
- Have a basic understanding, and appreciate the rules of the contest.
- Maintain self-control at all times.
- Recognize and appreciate skill in performance of all participants and tournament staff.
- Any un-sportsmanlike conduct by a person present at an OAC event may result in a penalty up to and including a one-year ban from any OAC event. If the un-sportsman act is by a coach, parent, family member or anyone connected to a particular wrestler the ban could also include the wrestler. We will have a zero tolerance for un-sportsmanlike behavior.
Examples of Un-Sportsmanlike Behavior
- Yelling obscenities at officials, workers, fans, opponents and/or your participant.
- Abusive behavior directed at officials, workers, fans, opponents and/or your participant.
- Removal of wall brackets.
- Allowing your participant to throw headgear or other objects after a loss.
These are the more serious infractions we have dealt with in the past, which we as coaches need to improve on. I ask that you hold yourself in the highest standard of sportsmanship. Please set an example for the young men/women whom you coach. Please do not put your participant at risk for disqualification due to your behavior.
Thank you,
Ohio Athletic Committee Staff
