Registration is now OPEN for the 2022 ABOA Clinic, with sessions available in Calgary September 24 and Edmonton October 1
ACAC Assignor, Ryley Kerrison challenged everyone in last season’s final report to be ready from the opening tip. It bears repeating and we hope you are already taking the necessary action.
“A point of emphasis for this upcoming season needs to be fitness and being ready both physically and mentally to start the season. We need to avoid another slow start. With improved fitness levels, injuries are potentially avoided and call quality/believability increases. Enjoy the summer, take time to enjoy family and friends. I challenge everyone to take the personal stewardship needed to make sure you are ready to hit the floor running at the start of next season…”
