posted 08/02/2009 Zia is proud to announce that Coach Nick Reiger will be arriving March 22nd. This is a great opportunity for our kids to get some world class coaching. Coach Reiger will be available to attend practices. Coaches will need to schedule a time for him to attend your practice. He will also be conducting some clinics for the kids during his stay. We will have more info on that after we have time to schedule it. Coach Reiger will also be in charge of coming up with our weekly skills lesson that we do before each game.
Part of the Challenger program is also the cultural exchange aspect for the kids. All coaches Stay with host families while staying in the USA. It is the job of the club to find housing for the coach. We hosted a coach last season and my kids were very sad when the week was over. All you need is an extra room for a week or however long you can have him. All coaches are subject to a very strict back round check and various other checks before they receive a visa to come to the US. If you are interested in hosting a coach please call Brian at 263-1312 for more info.
