Coaches Off to a Good Start

Nearly 20 coaches, representing each of our program sites, attended the 1st Annual BTSC Coaches Breakfast on August 23, 2019. Hope Cafe on 2341 Roosevelt street was filled with the leaders of our organization whose goals are to empower the youth of Chicago. This meeting served as a chance for coaches to network and to gather information on the upcoming programs for the new year. BTSC ran a successful program last year so our goal is to continue that momentum and to build on that success! 

A few brilliant ideas came about at the end of the breakfast during the Q&A session. We discussed ways that we can live stream our events for parents and fans to watch, more communication tools for the coaches, volunteering for film productions, and we talked about starting up a youth traveling team. We will be working hard on making these topics come into fruition in the future so be on the lookout!

The meeting was not just informative, but also motivational. I got the chance to meet many of our coaches and talk to them about their goals and programs. Even though we all want to empower the youth through the sport, each person has their own unique story and reasons as to why they are giving their time and energy into the cause. The start of our fall season begins September 9, 2019 and I am ready for our kids to get rolling on the mat. Register your child ASAP!
