PHIL CONNOLLY
• Did you attend the Summer Workshop?• Do you have scheduled coaches
meetings?• How do you disseminate info to your
club?• Do you have a Code of Conduct for:
Players/Coaches/Parents

• Are your High School Coaches involved with your Club?
• Do you talk to your neighbors and exchange ideas?
• Are you leveraging training with local resources like your HS coaches/3D/Bear Lax/etc.
PARTING THOUGHTS
PEARLS OF WISDOM
• It is all about the players• We don’t always know what we think we
know• It is ok to disagree and try something new• If you have a question – ask• It’s ok to be competitive but we shouldn’t
be competitive operationally
• If you have a problem – get it out on the table
• Just because someone was a good player, doesn’t make he or she a good coach
• No good deed goes unpunished• Rinse and repeat (educate)
Things the NCJLA is Working On• Establishing Conferences• Scheduling & training new schedulers• SIR & Concussion management• Game Rules• Feedback on Officials• Staff Assistance with player registration,
coaches certification• We are not perfect but trying to get better
Thanks & Questions
