Every year two Saskatchewan high school football coaches will be sponsored to attend the American Football Coaches Association convention. The convention is scheduled annually during the first week of January down in the United States. The meeting traditionally features a three-day coaching clinic which includes professional development series, master coach lecture series, and “Chalk Talks,” featuring panels of the top offensive and defensive coaching staffs from around the country.

The following criteria has been adopted for sponsoring two high school football coaches to the American Football Coaches Association Convention:

• Be a paid member of Football Saskatchewan.
• Must be a high school coach who attended the Football Saskatchewan Annual Investors Group Coaches Clinic the year previous.
• Must have had some involvement in the National Coaches Certification Program (at least completed Safe Contact and an intro to competition course).

Football Saskatchewan will administer the selection of the two coaches.

No candidate will be sponsored twice within a minimum span of five years.

Airfare, hotels, and a per diem will be supplied.

For more information check out AFCA's website or contact your local Football Saskatchewan Representative.
