The Oregon Army National Guard is a Gold Sponsor of the OACA. The Oregon Army National Guard, much like the Oregon Athletic Coaches Association, takes great pride in molding young men and women into outstanding citizens. The ideals and lessons taught by coaches to their student athletes are in direct correlation with what the National Guard expects in their recruits. A goal of both groups is to mold the youth of our state into productive citizens. We are pleased that the Oregon Army National Guard has partnered with the OACA. Together we can build bright futures for Oregon’s student athletes. www.oregonarmyguard.com

MaxPreps is a Silver Sponsor for the OACA. They have worked hard to get schools involved in an outstanding athlete and team recognition program. Most all high schools in many states are now using this site. We would like to encourage all Oregon coaches to get involved with this program.

The MaxPreps website provides a Free stat management provider, schedule, roster and overall tool for coaches. It provides maximum exposure for your teams and student/athletes. We have heard many positive reports from coaches in our state who have used their services. It is easy to set up and input data. Many coaches have student aides, stat keepers or even community members input the data for them. This Fall, the OACA will continue the selection of a weekly Football “Player of the Week” using MaxPreps leader boards as one of the criteria and post the results on the OACA website.

NIKE and Lids Team Sports have partnered with the OACA to sponsor two $1000 student scholarships in honor of Bill Bowerman, co-founder of Nike and OACA President in 1938-39 & 1947-48.

PRIME TIME SPORTS owned by John McCallum and Gerrit Wood also contribute funds to the OACA and do a great job in management of the Les Schwab Bowl. This game features 5A/6A football All-Stars from Oregon High Schools. The OACA is involved in the selection of the coaches who in turn select the players. Prime Time Sports manages the game/teams while the players/coaches stay in the Portland area.
