AFL Coaching Conference Opportunity

The USAFL is currently accepting submissions from coaches to represent the league at the AFL Coaching Conference in Melbourne the weekend of January 30th, 2015.

The annual conference will feature footy experts and experienced coaches discussing the game and techniques with other coaches from across Australia who want to develop their skills and help develop and improve their teams.  It's also a great opportunity for American-based coaches to keep their finger on the pulse of coaching football direct from the source.

Triple Premiership coach Alastair Clarkson of the Hawthorn Hawks will be delivering the keynote speech at the conference.  Other speakers include former St. Kilda coach Stan Alves, Brisbane Senior Director of Coaching and Development Peter Schwab, former Carlton Triple Premiership coach David Parkin, and much, much more.
