Do you have a number so we can call and reserve a spot or do we just show up?

either PM me ... e-mail me ... or call 913-709-6897

Let's get the word out about these two great opportunities this coming Sunday!!

Let the clinician know if you plan to attend either Norton or Wellington!!

Sunday the 23rd was a Great day in Kansas Coaches Ed ... Bill Norton had 38 in his clinic in Norton, I had 31 in the Wellington clinic!

Sunday the 30th, don't forget the clinic in Burlington!!

Just announced, February 13th at Highland Park in Topeka!!

A reminder to those who are submitting their tests and waiting certification ... make sure that you are including on the test, your current USAW Coaches Membership card number!

If your test does not include this ... it requires extra handling by USAW staff (of 1) and if your club has not applied for a card, your test goes to the bottom of the stack!!

T.C.O.B. and the process will go smoother!

Just announced: This a great opportunity to take advantage of!

I received a phone call tonight asking if we had canceled the Burlington clinic? We ARE absolutely holding a clinic at the Burlington City Library this Sunday, January 30 beginning at 10 am!!

ALL are welcome!!

We are excited to get to host the Bronze Clinic in our Public Library Meeting Room. It is a great space, and we are looking forward to having 20 to 30 coaches with us.

The address is Burlington Public Library at 410 Juniatta, Burlington, KS 66839. It is located on the west side of Highway 75, just 4 blocks north of the downtown stoplight. Large Victorian Building with parking on the east side and the south side of the library!

We had 18 coaches in Burlington yesterday for what I feel was a great clinic!

Now, Topeka on 2/13 and Salina on 3/6 ... that's the only two left on the schedule!

This Sunday, February 13th @ Highland Park in Topeka a local club will provide refreshments and a light meal!!

There are only two clinics left in this Kids year ... the one in Highland Park ... and the last chance in Salina!!!

We had 26 coaches attend the Bronze clinic in Topeka yesterday!

Our only clinic remaining on the calendar for this Kids season is our "Last Chance" clinic in Salina beginning at 1 pm on March 6th.

Make sure you have your current USAW Coaches Card and let me know if you plan to attend!!

Those of you that take the clinic this year WILL be allowed to coach in the State Tournament series!

It is highly unlikely that you will physically be able to submit your test, have your test graded, and receive your credentials in time for the subs!

Those coaches will have their names appear on Randy's Special list! As long as you meet the other requirements, current USAW Coaches membership card and picture ID ... and your name on the Special list, you will be allowed to coach if you are in good standing with your club!!

Randy's Special list will self destruct April 1 of 2011!

So, sign up now to let me know you will be attending!

To all coaches submitting their tests:

Make sure you include your USAW Coaches Card number ... if you don't your test will not be processed in a timely manner!!

This Sunday's clinic in Salina is shaping up to be a big one!! If you plan to attend either pm or call and let me know of your intentions!!

Show up a bit before 1 pm at the Salina Central cafeteria! Have $60 in hand and plan to spend about 6 1/2 hours in fellowship and learning!!

It appears we have enough interest to hold a Bronze clinic in conjunction with Freestyle/Greco State! We need to find a time frame that will work and we need about 6 hours!

I suggest breaking it up into two sessions! Any ideas from the attendees?

I will let you coaches decide! We have two possibilities, either try to squeeze 6 hours out during the State FS/GR tourney or hold a clinic on next Sunday, May 1st!

Doing it in Rosehill would require a real late evening perhaps on Saturday on May 14th and perhaps early May 15th. Attendees might be asked to miss a few matches of the tournament in order to make it work. (possible motel stay Saturday night in Rosehill)

If we held it May 1 we would eliminate the conflicts of the tournament. But May 1st is one of the scheduled weekends for Regional training centers! The clinic would probably be held in Ottawa, starting about 11 am!!

My preference is May 1st but we need to decide quickly!

Our Bronze clinic will be on May 1st beginning at 11 am. It will be held in Ottawa at 216 S. Hickory. (in downtown, one block East of Main)

The State FS/GR WILL require a Bronze certification. Do not arrive in Rosehill and expect an exception.

The cost of the clinic will be $60.00 and it will last about 6 hours!

Is there going to be another certification? I missed the last one!

Our next Bronze clinic will be on Thursday, June 2nd in conjunction with the Southern Plains tourney in Hays!
