Without strong, competent coaching, it would be impossible to maximize player development. Therefore, increasing the overall base of knowledge of your coaching staff is imperative. The MFA provides the following services for coaches:

• Coach’s Clinics
• Guest Coach for Team Practices
• N.C.A.A. Recruiting Seminars
• Private Consulting for Small Groups & One-on-One Mentoring

Coaches Clinics

To accelerate the development of individual players, it is critical that the teachers (or coaches) of the teams within the Association, know as much about the game as possible. The best way to insure that they do is to consistently train the trainers. The MFA will work with your Association to design a coach’s instructional clinic that meets your needs. The 3-hour clinics can be any season (Fall/Winter/Spring/Summer) and will be hosted by highly knowledgeable speakers. Coach’s manuals on all drills covered will be made available for all participants. Coach’s Clinics are a great opportunity for growth for players as well. Consequently, player participation is welcome. Good knowledgeable coaches make the game safer and more fun for all.

Guest Coaches

Sometimes hearing the same old message from a fresh face can make all the difference in the world! And sometimes just hearing the message from a guest can hold a kids attention a bit longer. Either way, the MFA can supply your teams with that fresh face. Whether it’s a former college or high school coach, or one of our decorated former college players, we’ve got the right match for a fun chalk talk & skill sessions that will keep your players riveted and totally focused on the message at hand!
