Workshops:

​

The LFA hosts coach-only training workshops early in the debate season to help coaches prepare for the upcoming year.  This season we are offering separate tracks, one designed for novice coaches and one designed for experienced coaches. There will be valuable information presented in both tracks that you do not want to miss out on!

​

For your convenience we will have two identical workshops scheduled in both the northern and the southern regions. This will help to accommodate of our varying member schools. Both head coaches and assistant coaches are encouraged to attend.  At least one representative from each school should be in attendance. The workshops will run from 8:45 am to 5:00 pm, with a break for lunch. There will also be time allotted for any Q & A, so you can have all questions answered. Do not forget to mark your calendars. The first tier deadline is August 15, 2019.  After this date, the registration price increases from $40.00 to $80.00.  Participation in these workshops does require registration, so please register online early to take advantage of this great discount!
