Coaches Certification Clinic - Youth Athletics - 121202

Our coaching clinic gives new and returning coaches practical tools they can use right away. We’ll cover communication, practice planning, and how to teach core skills in a way players actually understand. Coaches will leave with a clearer approach, better organization, and simple methods to build confidence and teamwork in their athletes. The goal is to help every coach feel more prepared, more supported, and ready to create a positive experience for their team.

The official coaching clinic will be held on Saturday, January 10, 2026 from 9AM-11AM in preparation for the Baseball, Softball, and Track and Field seasons. Coaches must be preregistered and must attend the clinic to qualify for a stipend during the season.
