Annual MGVCA Coaching Clinic
The MGVCA's 2013 Annual Coaching Clinic was held on Saturday, March 9, 2013 at the new MGA Facility in Norwood, MA
Our clinician was Mary Wise, the legendary University of Florida head coach and one of the most sought after clinicians in the country. Named twice as the AVCA Coach of the Year, Wise has over 800 career victories in transforming the Gator volleyball program. A past President of the AVCA, she has presented her ideas at numerous clinics and conventions nationwide including the 2012 AVCA Convention held in Louisville.
