*All coaches that are members of the KHSBCA may go ahead and register under the members area on the website.  Membership is good for one year.  When a coach registers, they have three options.  (1) Submit and pay their $30 membership fee through Pay-Pal online.  (2) Submit and mail in their $30 membership fee to the address listed under KHSBCA contacts.  (3) Submit, I've already paid.  This is for all coaches who paid for the convention or who may have previously paid their $30 membershp fee.

Coaches will be able to post their 2008 seasonal outlook, college signings, games wanted, summer games, open positions, classifieds, unsigned seniors for 2008 and top underclassmen.  Coaches will also be able to post their 2008 stat leaders as the season goes along.
