Volume 24, 2009 ISBN 978-0-89641-476-1 WHAT IS ARCAA? The Applied Researach in Coaching and Athletics Annual (ARCAA) is an interdisciplinary annual,and includes ten major content areas: Innovations in coaching athletics Innovations in teaching athletics Youth sports considerations Applied psychology of coaching and athletics Applied sociology of coaching and athleetics Athletic and sport management Law and legal issues in coaching and athletics Athletic counseling Coaches forum Book and video reviews Historical perspectives and reviews The goal of ARCAA is to continue to fill the void between research in the field of athletics through dissemination of information to those who can best utilize it in a practical setting, including coaches, athletic administrators and interested educators. The journal style will emphasize the use of lay terminology that can be understood by both professionals and those who are associated with the field through personal interest, thereby requiring the simplification of the interpretation and discussion sections of reseaarch reports to facilitate understanding by a broad readership. This philosophy will facilitate the goal of ARCAA which is to communicate and stimulate thought by applying research to current trends in coaching and athletics. To accomplish this purpose, clarifications of applied research projects, theories and concepts will be disseminated to coaches and the general readership.

Most libraries will also have copies of this style manual. No submission will be reviewed that does not adhere to the APA writing style. One slight modification of the APA format merits elaboration. Wherever possible, particularly in the results and discussion sections, the use of highly technical jargon is discouraged. It is our intent to take the technical and the complex and make them highly readable for practitioners who may be less familiar with theoretical and research intricacies. "Layman" language is acceptable in trying to communicate data and ideas. Also, when discussing specific statistical tests used in the research please explain why the test was used and what the test is ussed to measure. This information is very helpful in clarifying research intracacies to those who lack a statistical background. Finally, all papers should end with a "layman" discussion on implications of the research for the coaching/athletic profession. Special attention should be given to the preparation of references. The manuscript must be typed double-spaced, including abstracts and references. Tables, drawings, and graphs must be clearly labeled and included on separate pages. All manuscripts must be preceded by an abstract of 75-150 words. MANUSC RIPTS SHOULD NOT EXCEED 30 PAGES IN LENGTH, INCLUDING ALL TABLES AND FIGURES. Warren K.
