Who Needs to Get Certified and How Often?

Quick Recall and FPS Coaches

Each Quick Recall and FPS team must have a certified coach prior to District Governor's Cup. If you don't field a Quick Recall or FPS team, you do not have to be certified as a coach.

Head Quick Recall coaches must be certified either at the KAAC Conference or at a KAAC certification clinic. They may not be certified as a coach by passing the online quiz.

No specific training is required to enter students in Content Assessment.

Quick Recall, FPS, and Written Composition Officials

In order to meet your school’s participation requirements for Governor’s Cup, Future Problem Solving, and other KAAC competitions, KAAC requires each school to supply competition officials for specific events in which a school registers. For specific participation requirements for each KAAC competition, refer to that competition’s main page.

Quick Recall officials, FPS evaluators, and Written Composition Readers must be certified.
