What is the Great Lakes Coaches' Clinic?
The goal of the clinic is to help Science Olympiad coaches learn how to prepare their teams for this year's competitions. Who should attend the Great Lakes Coaches' Clinic? The GLCC is meant for coaches of every level, and we invite coaches from across the country to attend. The GLCC has sessions for coaches at every level of experience!

We have National Rules Committee Chairs, National Event Supervisors, State Event Supervisors, Regional Event Supervisors and veteran coaches as presenters.

The GLCC offers several different types of sessions for coaches:
How many sessions can I see? There are 3 time blocks on Friday evening and 7 time blocks on Saturday. It isn't possible for one coach to attend the sessions for all 23 events in your division, so we highly recommend bringing more than one coach and splitting up to see as many sessions as possible.

We will provide dinner on Friday, as well as breakfast and lunch on Saturday. Treats, snacks, and beverages are available throughout the clinic.
