Coach Squad Clinics
WESA Coach Squad Clinics are built by members, for members. These peer-led sessions are designed to grow future leaders while strengthening our league.
Our goal is simple: inclusive and transparent training that prepares members for success as Team Managers, 2nd Coaches, Lead Coaches, and league leaders.
By sharing knowledge and mentoring each other, we ensure WESA always has capable coaches, inspiring volunteers, and a strong foundation for the future.

PAST COACH SQUAD EVENTS
Coaches Retreats
WESA's Coaches got together with the WESA Commission to learn from each other and plan ahead on issues of Team Management and improving communicating our expectations.
The Autumn Mini-Retreats were focused on discussing ways to improve the Coaching experience and that of the Members. There were three Retreats in November of each 2022, 2023, and 2024. What came out of those instensive meetings was inspirational and a reminder that WESA matters a great deal to many in our community.
