Event Logistics:

• 90-minute workshop for parent/guardians & students-athletes in grades 7-12.
• Student-athletes do not have to be actively recruited at the time of the workshop.
• Events are usually hosted by one school/organization, and then made open to the surrounding community.
• Workshops are typically organized by a school’s Athletic Director or Principal, but coaches or parents may either suggest the workshop to their administration or contact ChildressSports@gmail.com directly.
• Coaches, teachers, or guidance counselors may also want to attend in order to understand how to best support prospective collegiate student-athletes.
