Event Coaching:

Athletes will be coached by any of our staff.
​
3) Athletes are expected to maintain their composure on the strip. If an athlete waives a coach off, you are still responsible for coaching fees.
4) We will do our best to make sure each athlete gets the attention they need at an event, however there will be times that coaches need to make a choice on who they are with (DEs vs Pools, Struggling Athlete, vs Winning Athlete, etc). Athletes and their families must respect that choice and know that we are invested in everyone’s success.
