I'm working with the UPA Youth Director to host a UPA Coaching Corp
clinic which will probably be Saturday, February 4, 2006.
We need at least 10 people to register to make it viable for SLC.
All the info is here:

The GAIA UPA Coaching Corps is a process of educating coaches and
volunteers, professionalizing and growing the vocation of coaching,
and creating a pool of qualified volunteers to help grow Ultimate.
The program consists of full day clinics for coaches in which they
learn skills and techniques to: introduce Ultimate and its skills to
new players; teach and maintain Spirit of the Game; interact with
and utilize parents; improve the fitness of their team; maintain
high professional coaching standards; and behave both ethically and
legally while coaching.
Who's eligible:
UPA Certified Coaches must be at least 21 years old and UPA
Certified Volunteers must be at least 16 years old. If you are below
the age limit, you may attend the clinics but will not receive
certification (e.g. for college and high school captains).
Please let me know if you're interested or have any questions.
Having recently started coaching a highs chool team, I'm really
excited about the clinic. It should be really beneficial to anyone
who wants to get into coaching at the youth or college level.
Just another step toward building ultimate in SLC.
All the best,
