2026 NHSSCA South Carolina Family Social

About this event

2026 NHSSCA South Carolina Family Day

You shouldn’t have to coach

alone.

Sometimes the most valuable thing you take away

from an NHSSCA event isn’t a new training program.

It’s a conversation with someone who understands

what you do.

Join fellow South Carolina coaches for a casual

evening at Southern Growl. No presentations.

No formal agenda. Just good conversations,

new connections, and people who understand

the work.

Two hours. Real conversations. Your coaching community.

What to Expect

Strength coaches • Sport coaches • PE teachers •

Athletic directors • Administrators •

Young professionals

Why Attend?

Good People.

Real Conversations.

You spend a lot of time helping athletes and

supporting your program. But how often do you

get to connect with people who understand

what that takes?

South Carolina Family Day is about making

those connections happen.

No presentations. No pressure. Just an

opportunity to get together with fellow coaches.

01

Connect With Coaches Who Get It

Meet people who understand the demands of

coaching, the challenges of working in schools,

and the responsibility of developing young

athletes. Sometimes knowing you’re not alone

makes all the difference.

02

Have Conversations That Matter

Talk shop, exchange experiences, ask questions,

or simply catch up. The best ideas don’t

always come from a presentation. Sometimes

they start with an honest conversation

between coaches.

03

Build Your Coaching Network

Strengthen relationships with coaches you

already know and meet others you can stay

connected with throughout the year.

Build a network of people you can reach

out to long after the evening ends.

04

Bring One More Into the Room

Know a sport coach, PE teacher, or colleague

who should be part of this community?

Invite them to come with you.

You don’t have to be an NHSSCA member

to make a connection that matters.

The best connections start

when you show up.

Coaches New to NHSSCA

Never attended an NHSSCA event?

Perfect. This is an easy way to meet

the people behind the association

without a formal conference or

membership presentation.

Already connected with NHSSCA?

Bring someone who isn’t.

Sometimes a personal invitation is all

it takes to help another coach find

their community.

One Person. One Invitation.

One Stronger Community.

Don’t Just Come. Bring Someone.

Who’s Your

1 More?

Think about the coaches and educators

in your school or district who aren’t

connected with NHSSCA yet.

Who could benefit from knowing

they’re not doing this work alone?

South Carolina Family Day is the perfect

opportunity to make that introduction.

No formal presentations. No membership

pitch. Just a casual evening where

people can meet, talk, and build

relationships.

• The sport coach responsible for

the team weight room.

• A PE teacher who helps develop

student-athletes.

• A young coach who could use

experienced people in their corner.

• A colleague who has never

attended an NHSSCA event.

What to Expect

No Agenda.

Just Connection.

Forget the conference schedule and

classroom presentations.

South Carolina Family Day is simply

an opportunity to get together.

Come as you are, meet fellow coaches,

and enjoy an evening of conversation

at Southern Growl.

A Different Kind of Family Day

Pull Up a Chair.

Join the Conversation.

There’s no stage, no speaker lineup,

and no formal program to follow.

This is a chance to spend time with

people who understand coaching

because they’re doing the work too.

Share what’s happening in your program,

hear what others are experiencing,

or just enjoy getting to know

another coach.

Whether you know everyone or

don’t know a single person,

you’re welcome in the room.

01

Show Up As You Are

No preparation needed and no

presentations to sit through.

Just come ready to spend time

with fellow coaches and educators.

02

Join the Conversation

Talk about coaching, the weight room,

your athletes, your school, or whatever

comes up. You never know which

conversation might lead to a

valuable new connection.

03

Leave More Connected

Meet someone new, reconnect with

an old friend, and leave knowing

there are people you can reach out

to beyond your own school or program.
