Learning Labs
Learning Labs are small group education sessions led by some of the top coaches in volleyball that allow participants to ask directed questions and dig deeper into a specific topic. Learning Labs are designed to be informal discussions between the topic expert and attendees to share insights, find solutions to problems, and talk shop.
Mentoring Workshop
The Match Point Mentoring Workshop provides the opportunity for veteran coaches and less experienced coaches to meet in small groups and share ideas for personal and professional growth. The workshop is scheduled 4:30 – 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 19 in Ballroom CDE of the Kentucky International Convention Center.
