Yeah no joke, there is no rule saying you can't go to a clinic at any time during your high school career. They are usually on saturday's and there is always one at the beginning of the season before any high school teams go to tournaments. So you don't need a waiver. I only wish I would have had my card my first year of coaching about a month before I got it, cuase I was showing one of my kids a move and lost my focus for a few seconds, he ended up kicking me right above my right eye and I had to get 20 stiches which came out of my own pocket. You can still coach without your card. But you'll need it at the bigger kids tournaments and all qualifying and state tournaments. Any tournament director can ask you to show your card and refuse to let you coach if you don't have it but most won't do that. And your not covered under insurance if you don't
