Coaching Corps works hard to ensure that the life realities and stories about the kids we serve are at the front and center of our work. Our Communications Department is committed to releasing relevant research as well as keeping our constituency abreast of all of our latest news and events.
“There are so many success stories to share when it comes to our passionate coaches and the difference they are making for their players,” says Sheilagh Polk, director of communications for Coaching Corps. “They are great reminders of why we do this work and why we need to keep growing and getting more kids in the game.”
