Have you ever left a clinic feeling like the advice didn’t quite fit your program? Maybe you’ve sat through sessions filled with impressive college or NFL-level strategies, but none of it seemed realistic for your roster of 40 kids, your limited practice time, or your budget constraints. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and the Gold Athletics Coaches Clinic is here to change that.
Happening January 17–18, 2025, in Ocean City, MD, this first-of-its-kind event is made specifically for high school football coaches. We understand the unique challenges you face—balancing limited resources, smaller rosters, and wearing multiple hats as a coach, teacher, and even sometimes a driver. That’s why the GA Clinic is for coaches, by coaches, delivering practical, high school-specific solutions to help you and your team succeed.
Here’s why this clinic is exactly what high school football coaches like you deserve:
The Unique Challenges of High School Coaching
Let’s be real: high school football is an entirely different ballgame compared to the college and professional levels. Your reality often includes:
Smaller Budgets: You’re stretching every dollar to make it work, from equipment to travel.
Roster Limitations: You can’t always two-platoon players; your starters might also be your kick returners, special teams, and backups.
Time Constraints: Between academics, practice, and family time, every hour you have with your team has to count.
At the GA Coaches Clinic, we get it. That’s why every session and every speaker is focused on real-world solutions that work at the high school level.
