What is Outside Assistance?

Click on the above links for valuable information for all coaches!

Coaches please read the 2009-10 Program Guide in its entirety it contains many changes to the rules that apply to all teams.  Be aware of all changes so that your team does not suffer any penalties.

International Opportunities

We are looking for teams who are interested in being "buddy" teams for international teams at World as well as home stay teams/families for our international teams.  You do not have to have a team attending World Finals to participate as a home stay family.  

California participated in 2006 in the European Festival sending two teams to Poland.  In 2007 we sent one team to Germany for the European Festival; and last year we sent one team to Hungary. Space  did not permit us to send a team this year to the European Festival.  We hope to be able to offer this opportunity again in 2010.

Coaches please make your teams and their families aware of these upcoming possibilities to enhance the Odyssey of the Mind experience.  Details will be posted as they are received. 

COACHES/TEAM ORGANIZERS - if you make team t-shirts please do not use the symbol OM;  that acronym no longer is associated with our program.  Either refer to the program as OotM or Odyssey of the Mind.  Thank you very much for your cooperation.
