WHO CAN ATTEND
Attendance is open to all high school (9-12) student-athletes (including sport-activities) and chaperones/administrators. Those who have attended a previous conference are not eligible to attend.

Over the years, schools have sent captains of their sports teams while others sent one representative from each athletic team. The number of attendees from a particular school is restricted to 18. Please note that attendance is limited to the first 400 students. Previous conferences were at capacity.

PROGRAM
The program will include four breakout sessions and a featured closing guest speaker. This year’s featured speaker is Harvey Alston.

FOCUS
Students will go through breakout sessions on team building, leadership, leadership roles and becoming a new leader.  These experiences can then be shared at the local school level among the various teams and groups.
