New Coach Orientation

Sunday, February 23rd

1-4pm

Naperville Central Learning Commons

Calling all new coaches! This three hour training program will focus on the administrative tasks & planning that goes into organizing a high school season. From the big-picture calendar of a three month season to planning a daily practice, our target audience is coaches who are brand new this spring or going into their second year and need some tips. This is NOT for experienced coaches; our goal is to provide a session for new coaches who have lots of questions. Register for this event here: https://tinyurl.com/IWPnewcoaches

There is no cost for this event, though we would be happy to collection donations that afternoon for the Dave Perry Memorial Scholarship, awarded annually to a handful of collegiate water polo recruits from Illinois. There is no pressure to contribute!
