This is an opportunity I wanted to share with all the local area coaches because like most of you, I am always looking for ways as a coach to learn and gain knowledge to become a better more productive coach to my players.
It is also a chance to meet and learn directly from the teams coaches in a way that most fans/coaches of a sport never get to.
