Last Coaches Training December 7th, all teams must have one coach attend a training

Teams can have up to 7 students.  Students select a problem and complete with other teams with their age group (their division) at Regional, Association and National levels.   

One of the most important roles in Odyssey of the Mind is that of the coach.   While the program is student driven, the coach provides the framework for the team by providing meeting space, help in problem solving and helping the team create their solution.  

Often times we find that coaches are the parents of interested students.   We recommend that you involve other parents or find co-coach to assist in the support of the team and their efforts.

The core value for Odyssey of the Mind is that this is a student driven process.  The Students selects the problem, and then works the problem until the bring their solution to the Regional Tournament.    

There are 5 problems each year so the team can select one that best matches their skills and aptitude.
