KHSBCA Scholarships

The KHSBCA awards scholarships each year to deserving seniors across the state.  There are four scholarships of $750 awarded, one from each section. (Regions 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16).  Senior players may apply on the website by going to the link and entering their information and completing the necessary requirements before the June 15 deadline.  Scholarships will be voted on by a committee at the January coaches convention and then awarded.  Contact scholarship chairman John Finn of Simon Kenton with questions at jfinn10517@aol.com. 

**KHSBCA Membership Information**

When coaches attend the state convention in January, their dues are included in the registration fees.  We are now taking clinic registration information and fees and for those not attending the clinic, they may send in their $30 registration fee. 

Any questions about registration or fees, e-mail Sherman Blaszczyk at PRP at sherman.blaszczyk@jefferson.kyschools.us.  Here is registration information for coaches who need to register for the website.  First, you  need to click on the members area and follow the instructions on how to register.  Also, you make up your own username and password.  More information is below. 

*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 2010 seasonal outlook, college signings, games wanted, summer games, open positions, classifieds, unsigned seniors for 2010 and top underclassmen.  Coaches will also be able to post their 2010 stat leaders as the season goes along.

 If a coach isn't a member of the KHSBCA, their players aren't eligible for any post season awards, such as being members of the East/West All Star team, the All State Team, etc. and their stats won't be listed on the website for the 2010 season.
