TAKE A SHORT "QUIZ" AND HELP ORHS ATHLETICS WIN A $5000 LIBERTY MUTUAL "RESPONSIBLE SPORTS" GRANT
Liberty Mutual has created a “Responsible Sports” program, giving out $65,000 nationally each year to youth sport organizations. Youth sports organizations compete to win grant money by getting the largest number of parents, coaches, and friends to earn “certifications” in the Liberty Mutual Responsible Sports course material. This material imparts valuable mentoring techniques to provide a safe, positive, character-building sports experience for kids.

Should ORHS Athletics win a grant, half of the money will be put toward covering ORHS student registration fees for the annual Bobcat Bolt 5K/10K road race (hosted by the Oyster River Alumni Association, proceeds benefit the Oyster River Teen Initiative). The other half of the grant will be spent on a variety of ORHS Athletic Department needs.

STEP 1: TAKE THE QUIZ BY MAY 31!
To earn your certification, take a short "responsible sports" online quiz by May 31, 2011. You can take either the Parent or Coach quiz depending on your role/interests. You don’t have to be a parent or coach to participate, you just have to be interested!

1. Click on the link above to enter the responsible sports website.
2. Under the section titled Get Started click "Parents" or "Coaches" (it doesn't matter which).
3. On the Responsible Sport Parenting (or Coach) page, you will see several options. You can subscribe to the eNewsletter, read the coursework and take the quiz.
4. For our purposes, click "Take the Quiz".
5. Proceed through the quiz by selecting the correct answers.

Note: The quizzes come with very informative online course material in responsible sport coaching/parenting that you should read prior to taking the quiz. However the quiz is pretty easy to pass even without reading the material since it corrects you until you select the right answer! No test anxiety here!
STEP 2: CREDIT YOUR CERTIFICATION POINT TO ORHS ATHLETICS!

Once you completed the quiz, you will then be automatically prompted to register your name and email address. You will need to submit this information in order to credit your certification point to ORHS Athletics. Liberty Mutual does not keep your information, share it, or use it for any advertising purposes. **Note: When it asks you to put in a password, you should create a brand new password which will enable you to log back into the responsible sports website and check the status of the grant. It is not asking for the password that you use for your personal email account!

After you’ve registered you will be asked to credit the “point” you earned for taking the quiz to your youth organization of choice. Please type in: Organization Name: Oyster River High School Athletics, City: Durham, State: NH. Then click “Credit” next to “ORHS Athletics, Bobcats, Durham NH" once it gives you some choices.

Important! Now **check your email account** to find the “verification” email sent to you from the Liberty Mutual “Responsible Sports”. Open the email and click on the “Verify Me Now!” link. Congratulations you are done!!

STEP 3: SPREAD THE WORD TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW!
If you like, continue on to your “fan” page to see how many certifications ORHS Athletics currently has, and to “spread the word” by sending out emails to fellow coaches, parents, and friends encouraging them to take the quiz too!

You can also view the Leader Board to check where ORHS Athletics currently stands vis-à-vis other youth organizations in the competition (note we are in the “Schools” category and the leader board only lists the top 15):
