<br>
The Seattle Ultimate Coaching Series is the premier opportunity to learn coaching techniques and strategies from some of Seattle's top coaches (and some of the best coaches in the world, for that matter). We have postponed the Coaching Series by two weeks, so it will now begin on September 26. Topics include teaching the rules and intricacies of self-officiating, throwing, receiving the disc and offensive footwork, individual defensive fundamentals, identifying and employing the ideal strategies for your team, selecting and implementing appropriate drills, and various specialty topics from a panel of expert coaches. This course has been approved for 15 clock hours by the Seattle Public Schools.
