So... I just said I would take over for coaching Academic Decathlon. No one else at the school was willing, and I always have a problem turning things down... That being said, I have no idea what Academic Decathlon is. I told the AP this and she was happy to have me to it anyway. I've never been at a school that has a team. My best idea stems from brief moments on teenage TV movies with competing teams. Does anyone have pointers or resources that I could browse?
I just googled it. These should help: http://www.cccoe.k12.ca.us/supe/events/Forms/ADGuide.pdf http://www.vcoe.org/Portals/VcssoPortals/sc/Academic Decathlon/New Coaches Handbook.pdf http://www.usad.org/
Thanks! I saw the PDFs in my own search but wasn't sure if they're still valid since they were written 13+ years ago? Does anyone know if things have changed enough to make them irrelevant?
