*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.

Coaches will be able to post their 2009 seasonal outlook, college signings, games wanted, summer games, open positions, classifieds, unsigned seniors for 2009 and top underclassmen. Coaches will also be able to post their 2009 stat leaders as the season goes along.
