IATCCC President and Portage Girls Cross Country Coach, Jay White, wants to invite every coach in Indiana, whether in their 40th or 1st year of coaching, to attend.
"We are excited to kick off the 2022 season with our annual IATCCC clinic which will be back in person this year. We will also offer virtual a choice for those that can't attend in person."
"We have a lot of great speakers lined up for this year's clinic. Our clinic committee has been working hard the last few months to put together a great clinic for out members. Keep safe and healthy!"
Joining the IATCCC is also the way in which you can ensure your athletes are recognized for awards like Academic All-State, having your voice heard for rule changes and future presentations to the IHSAA, and coaches education- so signing up for the clinic and joining the IATCCC should be a must-do for Indiana coaches.
