2023 Planning

I know it is coming into the off-season and some well deserved down time for all of you.  Keep a few things in mind.  

  • Start planning and organizing your schedule now!!  If you can get your course time reserved, games planned out, league organized, etc.  The further ahead you get now, the easier it will be this spring.
  • Program registration will open by November 15th.  Due to the new platform this will be easier than ever.  All you need to do is add the program, since everything else is set up.  
  • PDR’s (the former MSR’s) will be posted to those registered coaches in late December or mid January.  Only registered coaches will receive PDR’s.  If a coach didn’t register, don’t expect to have them posted.
