Coaching Requirement for Competition:
In all cases, coaches (paid staff and volunteers) are required to complete training for the county to field a team for competition. Each county's Cotton Boll and Consumer Judging, Forestry Field Day, Poultry Judging, and Wildlife Judging are required to be coached by a certified coach. Coaches may enlist additional leaders to assist with instruction and may coach more than one county team. 4-H Coach's Certification is obtained by completing the Georgia 4-H Certified Judging Coach's training for the specific event.

Each S.A.F.E. team in each discipline (archery, pistol, B.B., rifle, and shotgun) must be coached by a certified paid staff or volunteer coach. If a meeting, practice, or S.A.F.E. event is held an accredited coach in that discipline is required to be in attendance along with screened volunteers for assistance. Certification is obtained by completing the Georgia 4-H Certified S.A.F.E. Coach's Training in that discipline.
