Event Group Sessions
The Event Group sessions provide a thorough introduction to each event: rules, safety concerns, talent identification, basic technical models, and teaching progressions. The curriculum explores both commonalities between events as well as their unique demands.
If you are new to coaching the event area, you should walk away with a firm understanding of where to start when setting up your athletes' training programs. If you are an experienced coach of the events, you may find some new drills, progressions, cues, or organizational tools.
We have some of our top event instructors presenting these sessions, so it should be a great experience for coaches of all levels.
The Event Group sessions are included with the Level 1 School registration package. If you are interested in attending one (or more) of the Event Group sessions "a la carte," they are $25 at the door on a space-available basis. There is no advanced registration -- but please e-mail Tyler Wingard to let us know which session(s) you will attend.
