In this legal ledger Sidebar, John Price and Jennifer Hardin discuss some of the legal considerations for boards when issuing contracts for coaches, which was one of the highlights from this year’s OSBA Sports Law Workshop Webinar Series.
Other topics from the Sports Law webinar series included an update from the Ohio High School Athletic Association, an overview of liability for injuries occurring at sporting events, and a discussion of best practices for handling unruly attendees at sporting events.
For board members and district personnel who missed them the first time around, the sports law webinars are available for purchase on demand at this link or this QR Code:
