Training workshop

Hello teams, I hope you're enjoying the first few weeks of the "Smart Move" season. We have a new initiative in Ontario this year. Some experienced coaches have agreed to hold training workshops for other coaches in their area. Ontario is a geographically large region to support with coach training but hopefully this will ease your driving time if you are interested in attending.

Our trainers are working out details for site locations and dates and once those have been passed along to me we will post them here on the blog, on our website, and email blast the coaches.

Our first available workshop is offered by the W.A.F.F.L.E.S in Kingston. Please see more information about their workshop below.

Good luck and have fun!

Dave
