Hi Im the JV Head Coach at Central College and a Varsity Assistant, I just completed my first year there. It was an interesting first year. With three new coaches trying to change the playing style and old habits for the team. However we started growing in the right direction and Im excited for next year. Being a young coach Im excited for this camp and being able to connect with other coaches and learning how to communicate with athletes and more about the game itself!
