Gamecocks to Host Women Empowering the Game Coaches Clinic
Sept. 15, 2016
South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley is hosting the Women Empowering the Game coaches clinic at Colonial Life Arena on Sun., Oct. 30, from 1-6 p.m. The clinic will feature presentations from various WNBA coaches and administrators, including WNBA President Lisa Borders, as Staley brings some of the best minds in the game of women’s basketball to South Carolina.
“Our goal is to bring together highly respected and successful women basketball coaches and professionals to foster learning, inspiration and provoke conversation,” Staley said of the event. “Some of the best minds in the game of women’s basketball will share their knowledge with our South Carolina basketball community. I’m most excited about our players getting unprecedented access to women who are leaders in the game as they look to their future professional goals.”
Borders joins WNBA Chief of Operations and Player Relations Renee Brown and three WNBA head coaches — Cheryl Reeve (Minnesota Lynx), Pokey Chatman (Chicago Sky) and Jenny Boucek (Seattle Storm) — at the inaugural event. Along with Staley and her staff, the group will lead attendees in strategy sessions and basketball round-table discussions around techniques for success in the game.
The five-hour clinic is $75 per person with registration available at: https://oss.ticketmaster.com/aps/gamecocks/EN/link/buy/details/wbmpwr. NCAA rules do not permit prospective student-athletes, including Junior College players, to attend this event.
