Joe, Josh, We're considering helping out current coaches w/ the UCPC reg
fee to provide a little reward and incentive.  Maybe even a "sign up 5
of your players, get in free" deal.

Any suggestions on how I can reach out to the coaches group?  Use the
yahoo group?  But I'd also like a list so I know how many and whom I'm
talking to.

Ah, if only I had a distribution list of all the current HS coaches, or
another way to get in touch w/ them, like, say, a forum...

Hi Geoff,

Thanks for checking in.  I will try to answer all your questions.
Tiina (cc'd) can clarify if I missed anything.

-While Tiina and I tried to have presentations that will cater from
beginner to elite, we have not specifically discussed how we would
like the demographics to break out.  Having said that, I think the
topics and the College Recruiting Fair (part of the Ultimate Expo)
will make this event very attractive to High School coaches and
players.  So I am not that concerned that BUDA offering to help with
coaches fees will skew the numbers.  I do think that this is a great
idea and very generous on the part of BUDA.  Tiina did have a chance
to talk about this and we have a couple of questions/ideas:

-If you offer this incentive in a week or so.....what do we do about
coaches who have already regsitered?  Perhaps it makes sense to offer
this incentive very soon.
-While it would be great to get the coaches there.....we would love to
get the kids there.  Maybe some kind of incentive like "sign up 5 of
your players and get free registration".

-In terms of numbers, the venue can handle up to about 350 attendees.

Thanks, George
