CONVENTION UPDATE: A Glance At The Jumps Symposiums In 2023
NEW ORLEANS – Coaching education has long been one of the pillars on which the annual USTFCCCA Convention has been built.
This year is no different, as we’ll bring you 26 technical symposiums spread across the four disciplines: endurance, jumps, sprints/hurdles/relays, and throws. That means there will be seven coaches per each of the four disciplines to share their knowledge with their colleagues. Technical symposiums are once again presented by the Drake Relays.
