Season Four Wrap-Up

May 21, 2010
The Fourth Season of Coaching the Coaches clinics concluded with the Spring Conference hosted by Queen's University Athletics on April 23, 24. There were 322 coaches registered for the weekend, with 18 clinicians presenting, and 25 student–athletes volunteering to demonstrate for the practical sessions. The weekend began with a great kickoff by Kingston Town Crier, Chris Whyman. His pronouncement not only initiated the proceedings but also shouted out congratulations to Bob Hurley Sr., one of our clinicians, who had just been recently elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame. Clinics were then presented on Friday and Saturday for Football, Basketball, and Volleyball coaches. Many of these excellent sessions were videotaped. There will be information about ordering the videos posted on the website in the near future.

Year Four was a great success with three conferences being held at Kingston's three post-secondary institutions. St Lawrence College started off the season by hosting the Elementary Coaches' Clinic, followed by Royal Military College hosting the mid-winter Rugby and Soccer Conference, and concluding with Queen's hosting the Spring Clinic. Overall, there were 870 participants at the three conferences. They attended from British Columbia to Nova Scotia with presenters from Wales, England, France, the United States, and Canada. Over 12,500 people visited the website over this period of time which helped to spread the word about the Clinics and the Kingston area. Thanks to the major sponsorships by Tourism Kingston, Investors Group, the Four Points Sheraton, and the Ambassador Resort Hotel, the conferences helped promote the goal of Coaching the Coaches which is “Promoting Sport Through Team Leadership”. Hope to see you next season as CTC kicks-off season number five.
