Will I have to stay at my computer the whole day?
Not if you don’t want to! You have the option to come and go as you please. You can choose the sessions that most interest you and take a break whenever you need, or participate from start to finish. You can even close your computer and exit the clinic, then rejoin at a later time. Whatever works best for you.
Will there be breaks?
Absolutely! There will be breaks for bathroom trips, snacks and moving around worked in throughout the day, along with a 30-minute break for lunch.
What if I'm new to coaching?
Awesome! This clinic is a great way to kick off your coaching journey. You’ll walk away with dozens of useful ideas, drills and strategies you can implement with you team, along with a network of fellow coaches you can tap into in the future.
What if I’ve been coaching for decades?
Fantastic! This is a great opportunity for you to both share your own knowledge and pick up some fresh ideas from your peers and the presenting coaches.
When will the clinicians address questions?
They'll do their best to answer questions throughout the clinic. Then after the clinic ends on Saturday and you’ve had some time to review your notes, the clinicians will be joining us again on Sunday for a 60-minute session to answer more questions.
Can I participate if I’m not in the U.S.?
Definitely! Coaches all over the world have different methods of coaching, and this is a great format to learn and share new ideas. You just need to be able to be on your computer between 9am and 3pm Pacific Daylight Time on July 10, 2021.
What technology do I need in order to participate?
All you need is a device that can connect to Zoom (computer, tablet, etc.). You can join from your smartphone, but the screen might not be big enough to give you the best clinic experience.
Is there a discount for groups?
There aren’t any group discounts available at this time, but AOC Premium members save 10% on tickets. If you have a special situation where you’d like to purchase tickets for 10 or more coaches, please email us at volleyball@theartofcoaching.com.
How do I watch the bonus sessions?
The bonus sessions will be available to watch online after the clinic ends. It usually only takes a few days for all of the videos to be posted, and we'll send an email out to let you know when they're ready. They'll be added directly into your account and you can access them by going to Clinic Video from your account dashboard.
Seems like a pretty good deal to us. Claim your spot at the High School Champions Clinic today!
