There were so many drills and ideas that would be useful teaching points at practice that I don't think I will be able to stuff them all into this season, however I will try.
• Overall a FANTASTIC 2 days!!  I am a beginning coach (1 spring season experience 8 year old boys - now coaching winter) and even the higher level clinics had something I could take from it. Great presenters, great location, great snacks and lunches and VALUABLE information! Well done!
