This is an excellent opportunity for you to learn and improve your skills in coaching this sport we all love. There are two parts to this Coaching Clinic. The first part (first 4 hours of ~8 hour clinic) covers ETHICS, the second part of the Clinic is a performance workshop. Clinic details can be seen here.

  • Both workshops require that you are a member of the UPA by the day of the clinic. Please see below for new membership options!
  • COLLEGE COACHES: Please read here concerning new sideline guidelines and the 2009 college national championships (you only have to take the Ethics portion to gain sideline access at Nationals):http://www.upa.org/coaches/requirements
