COACHES ACADEMY

“It is a privilege to be called “Coach!”

…But it can come with a significant amount of responsibility beyond the Xs and Os…Now, more than ever before, our coaches need support and training regarding the mental health of both their athletes and themselves...we have all seen the headlines and might know the struggle personally…and we want to do something about it.

​The motivation behind this event is to GIVE BACK TO THOSE WHO GIVE SO MUCH to our community. If you hold the title of "Coach" in any capacity, you are welcome! Our goals for our time together are: 

​1) Bring coaches of various ages and sports in SWMO to be together in one place.

2) Provide a convenient and affordable option for coaching education.

3) Continue the discussions on mental health and athletics in a safe space for coaches.

4) Help to build confidence and competence in our coaches’ ability to handle the important job they are given of leading young people.

5) And while this is an event for ALL coaches, we know our thing is …so we want to make sure our vb coaches have a special chance to learn and network in our facility while they’re here.
