Student coaches should be in the Senior Division. Student Coaches must have an adult who will assist them in collecting registration fees, making payments to NC FPS, and supervising competitive problems. It is strongly encouraged that the student coach have a minimum of three years of experience participating in the FPS component they intend to coach. Additionally, new student coaches must attend NC FPS Coach Training (either in person or virtually) 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.
