The Return of SUMMER INSTITUTE in 2021!!!!! Save the Dates!
2021 SUMMER INSTITUTE
The past five summers’ “Summer Leadership Institute” have proved to be one of the most successful professional development opportunities for athletic administrators on record. Nearly 1,200 class roster spots were filled over three days of training the past four years which assisted school leaders in our interscholastic settings.

The purpose of the Summer Institute is to provide appropriate training and professional development for audiences directly involved with the education-based athletic programs within Ohio schools. Target audiences include, but are not limited to, newly appointed athletic administrators, experienced athletic administrators, coaches, building principals, superintendents and other school personnel who have a connection with school-based athletic programming.
With more and more attention being shifted toward the training and certification of Ohio athletic administrators, the Summer Institute can provide coursework credits toward RAA, CAA and CMAA certifications.
