October Is
Coach Appreciation Month

October 6th is National Coaches Day! It’s recognized as a day for activities and ceremonies “honoring coaches for the friends and counselors they become.”

But we think coaches deserve more than just a day… so all month long, we’ll be showing some love to our coaches, and giving parents, players and league administrators some ideas to show their appreciation to the coaches in their lives.

We Appreciate You, Coach!

From seasoned professionals to first-time volunteers, our coaches make the world go ‘round. As a thank you for all you do, we’ve partnered up with Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA) to give you free access to their Double-Goal Coach® online course ($30 value) for two weeks! Sign up for the course October 6-20 and enjoy complimentary access to the course for a whole year – that’s right, you have 365 days to complete the course:
