THE COACH BRIEF

Lead a day.
Build a connection.

We’re working toward a clinic in every state. Local coaches make the mission possible. Here’s the role and the path from application to clinic day.

01

A home for your coaching.

Your approved state page introduces your experience, organization and coaching approach. Families can read your bio, visit your website and find your training link after the day.

02

You lead the local rep.

Bring OL/DL coaching experience, a potential venue, an assistant-coach plan and a weather backup. Help families prepare, welcome athletes and lead the clinic.

03

A shared event plan.

The proposed captain kit includes a run of show, coaching guidelines and promotional templates. Final support and responsibilities are agreed during onboarding.

Proposed clinic format: free admission, 10 AM local, 90 minutes. The working plan is 60 minutes of technique and 30 minutes of competitive reps. Timing, staffing, activities and admission are confirmed before a clinic opens registration.
