An Act relative to club sports coaching staff

This bill establishes a special commission to study the quality of coaching staff at club sports facilities in Massachusetts, specifically focusing on those who work with children and young adults. The commission will be composed of legislators, state officials, and representatives from various sectors including sports facilities, parent advocacy groups, and student athletes. Its main task is to investigate current hiring practices, training needs, and reporting mechanisms, while also exploring the creation of a statewide licensing board to regulate these facilities. By June 2024, the group must submit its findings and draft legislation to the state legislature to implement any recommended changes.
