Coach
Responsibilities

Coaches are adult leaders, and each team is required to have one. Coaches are educators, 4-H leaders, parents, and community leaders who work with youth. Coaches form teams, prepare teams for competition, collect permission forms, and chaperone teams at in-person competitions.
