I will also be the head powerlifting coach at my new job next year.. and advice on that?
If it were just the strength and conditioning part I would be fine.. but I do know there are lots of rules and such that differ for powerlifting..

www.aausports.org/sprt_Powerlifting.aspGo to the rules section. That should give you a start. Here in Nebraska, powerlifting is not sanctioned, but several schools have it (we do). Basically, we lift for football, but we do work on some specific powerlifting technique during the meet season (which for us is now).

here in florida its kinda an un-written rule that the HC for football is also for weightlifting. we just use the football team as the weight lifting team and do everything in our normal lifts after school

Wow, thats really cool. Love to hear more bout that job. Well.. principal is an old basketball guy.. played at LA Tech.. when he arrived on campus there he was about 6'6 and very skinny.. Tech had an AWESOME powerlifting coach named Billy Jack Talton.. they won several national championships.. Well he helped my principal out and it really made an impact on his career.. So.. he just got to this school last summer.. and just hired me.. the current weightroom is in bad shape.. very small.. horrible equipment.. but.. There is a room that used to be the art room.. probably 30'x60' Not huge.. but nice size.. with 2 offices.. He is in the process now of making that into the new weightroom.. and they are also getting bids on brand new equipment.. He is really committed on making athletics better through doing what he can for our strength and conditioning program.. |

I should add that while powerlifting is not a state sanctioned sport here, several of our meets (about 50%) are AAU sanctioned- and those that are not always follow AAU rules. That might be the case with your situation as well.

That might be the case with your situation as well. Well after some intensive searching.. (typed in Louisiana Powerlifting in google :  I came up with our state's powerlifting website.. Our state athletic association does not sanction it, but it seems to be pretty well run none the less.. I guess to build upon my first post.. how much problems do you have with the guys not wanting to wear those little suits in public? And.. do lift techniques tend to vary from your powerlifting kids to your basketball and baseball kids who do not do the powerlifting? |

correct......powerlifters are always parallel......
and the suits.....once they realize that everybody else is wearing 'em it's not so bad.......and you can let 'em wear a sweat suit until it's their turn.....take the suit off, lift, and put the suit back on.........they don't have to wear it in the open for a few minutes........
and powerlifters like footballers aren't worried about messing up their shot, swing, chip, putt, or whatever.......
