Greetings!
Happy Holidays to all you great coaches out there. I wanted to update you on some additional clinics that we have scheduled in early 2013. You know about the Napa clinic and the Novato clinic from our previous bulletin. For those of you who just joined us and did not get that bulletin here is the info on those.
Upcoming Coaches Clinic - January 3-6
Each year, Pacific Swimming and ASCA work together to produce a Coaches Clinic in Napa every January. This year's clinic will be held January 3-6, 2012. Pac Masters has budgeted for 10 scholarship up to $100 each for qualified Pac Masters coaches to attend this clinic. Basic registration is currently $99 for Sunday only; $115 for both Saturday & Sunday. Please note that registration prices rise after January 1st.
