AAU Coaches Packet FREE!

With event operators charging excessive prices for their coaches’ packets, some as high as $950, the AAU will provide complimentary coaches packets and admission this year. Packet prices have been the #1 concern for coaches during the summer certified event recruiting period and the Amateur Athletic Union stepped up to support coaches and lead by example!

Notre Dame Issues Pink Zone Challenge to Nation’s Top 20 in Attendance

The University of Notre Dame, in conjunction with the WBCA, announced that it will sponsor the inaugural WBCA Pink Zone Challenge, to be held during the 2008-09 season.

The Challenge will be a friendly fund-raising competition among the top 20 women’s basketball programs in the final 2007-08 national attendance rankings (as determined by the NCAA; see list below).

Each of these schools will be charged with trying to collect the most money through the Pink Zone initiative (formerly known as “Think Pink”), a global, unified effort for the WBCA’s nation of coaches to assist in raising breast cancer awareness on the court, across campuses, in communities and beyond.
