PARENT COACHES:  This is a great opportunity for parents to help out with their children's teams by volunteering to coach a team.  No experience needed as drills are all still lead by our experienced coaches.  We just ask the parents to take the drills back to their teams in the breakout sessions to work with them on each of the skills we teach.  You will be asked during registration about volunteering, so please check yes if you have interest so we can plan for your team!

These instructional sessions give all girls a chance to get extra instruction/training in ball control, partner drills, and games/scrimmages/wash drills. In each session, athletes may be separated by experience or ability to ensure all girls receive training appropriate to their current skill level.  

COA travel coaches will design and run all training sessions.
