Lots of exciting things going on in preparation for the Clinic – July 20-22. The registration mailing will go out in early May to the address you put on your registration card. The website will be updated at the same time with information and schedules. From a clinician standpoint, we’ve got a solid lineup. NC State Football, Emory Men’s Basketball, Coastal Carolina and High Point Women’s Basketball, NC State Soccer, Duke Wrestling, LSU baseball, UNC Softball, Virginia Tech Cross Country, Former Florida HC for Swimming, Florida Southern Volleyball, and Cuthbertson HS Track. In addition, we will have sessions on Golf, Tennis, Mental Training and Strength & Conditioning. Registration reminders: 1. To avoid problems processing registrations, please fill out cards and send registrations in as soon as possible to avoid mail delays, etc. Remember that your registration must be postmarked by July 1 to get the reduced pre-registration rate ($70). If you are sending in late June, go get your envelope “Hand Canceled” at the post office to ensure the date (always good advice). 2. If your school is going to pre-register you, get your registration card filled out and give it to your AD as soon as possible. 3. If it’s the 3rd week of May and you don’t have your packet or if your address has changed, email us to get a registration card – ncca@nccoach.org. Please don’t wait until late June to request a card. From the “We Have Heard You” department: 1. We are increasing the number of pre-registration lines from 6 to 8 to see if this will help the lines move more efficiently.
2. We will open after lunch at 1:45 as opposed to 2:00 to give extra time for folks to get to the 2pm sessions. 3. Pre-registered Gold Card Members will be able to skip the pre-reg lines and come directly to the right side of registration to pick up their packet. Even though we open registration at 8am and start sessions at 9:50 on Monday, we believe that there is confusion related to pictures and session attendance. When you pick up your packet, one of the cards has NCCA at the top and two lines for you to put your name and school. This is ALL YOU NEED to get into any clinic session. You can get your picture made later when the lines may be down a bit – but we all know Monday is the busiest day. NCCA Last year, we were up in registrations, and we have seen that gradually increase since COVID. We are excited to see our numbers continue to grow and believe that this year we will see that trend continue. We look forward to a great clinic in July as that always is a great start to a new sports year for our coaches, student-athletes and schools. As I always say, don’t ever underestimate what a profound effect you have on the young people for whom you mentor, support, challenge and inspire. Thanks for being a coach! Together, we are keeping the title “Coach” one that is respected and admired – and that can last a lifetime. _______________ _______________ 2026
