Coaches

Thank You WBA Coaches!

Coaches are some of the world’s most important, impactful people. They are entrusted with young lives, often spending more time with them than their parents and teachers do. Coaches lead youth athletes in developing their skills in settings that can offer crushing parental and peer pressure, with a stark line between success and failure, winning and losing on display for all to see. It is critical that youth have a positive coach, a Double-Goal Coach®, who pursues winning and the even more important goal of teaching life lessons through sports. That way, no matter the outcome of a contest, all children can take a valuable, enriching experience from sports and apply it to the rest of their lives.

Notes from the Board:

  • All additional tournaments, MUST be approved by the board in advance. Teams are scheduled for 8 tournaments and can elect to play 2 additional tournaments.
  • If the team elects to drop a tournament and there is no refund given, the team would have to pay for a replacement tournament. This can happen when short notifications are given to tournament directors. 
  • Review your current team placement in tournaments and if there are any adjustments desired to level of bracketing, reach out to the tournament director and they can inquire with that particular tournament IF adjustments can be made.
