| Training Volunteer Coaches to Develop Life Skills in Youth Sport |

The high level of participation requires many sport organizations to rely on volunteers, without whom there can be no programs. This learn by doing session will familiarize administrators, educators, and coaches with an easy, step by step process to purposefully incorporate life skill training into youth sport. |
