Coaches

Thank you to all the volunteers who are generously giving of their time this winter to coach and assist!

_______________

Coaches clinics are provided prior to the outdoor season for child/youth/combined

coaching certificates through certified SSA instructors. These are 2-3 day courses

depending on coaching level desired. Sign up for clinics is done at player registration.

We MUST have a minimum of 10 participants for SSA to send an

instructor.

If you sign up and are unable to attend you must notify the Executive Director at least

2 weeks prior to the clinic. This is to provide SSA with accurate numbers to ensure the

proper amount of instructors.

There is no cost to the participants.

(Senior coaching certificate can be obtained through the SSA with details on the SSA

web site. (Coaches taking this course are responsible for their own fees.)
