Coaches: Information and Upcoming Dates

Our coaches are the heart and soul of our program, and one of the main reasons that NLLL consistently receives glowing reviews in our annual surveys. We welcome you back for the 2010 season and we look forward to another great year together!

Important upcoming dates for coaches:

• 3/11: District One Safety Clinic,Thursday March 11 at 6:30 pm at the Belltown Firehouse, 8 Dorlen Rd. Stamford. This is required for all coaches in their first year, and at least every three years thereafter. This clinic is being offered to all the leagues in District One (lower Fairfield County). We will have an alternate NLLL date, TBA, if you can't make this one.
• 3/22: Mandatory* PCA training - Positive Coach Alliance, Double Goal Coach II: Culture, Practices and Games, Monday March 22, 7pm to 9pm at Westover School Auditorium. This is the second class in the series of PCA coaching clinics - it builds on what we covered last year, and it works for new attendees as well. Eric (same instructor as last year) will return for another engaging session that will keep us entertained and thinking, as we continue to build the double-goal culture (winning and building character) that NLLL prides itself on. See details here. Also visit the PCA website for more information.
