Great clinic last night. Jeremy, Ryne, and Craig did a great job educating the group.

Big shout out to Will for getting this started and paying for the pizza.

My personal challenge to all kids club tournament directors is to please make sure you include these high school kids as refs in your tournaments. It is the next logical step in this process and helps them to get experience. Thanks in advance!

To kids club coaches.....I offered the high schoolers at the clinic a standing invitation to attend our kids club practices so they can practice their reffing skills. If they take me up on it, what I plan on doing is having a practice filled with live matches for our little kids and let the high school kids ref them in a no threat environment. Just an idea that we can use to let these kids get confidence before the crazy Sat and Sun tournaments.

Thanks again to Will for getting this idea off the ground! Great job as always.
