Thank you to our sponsor Jackson Ultima!

The PSA Summit provides coaches with information and presentations they can't get anywhere else. You can't Google it, you can't find it on YouTube, it's not on Facebook, and you can't read it in a book or on a website. The combination of information and presenters is completely unique to the 2021 PSA Summit.

The Summit theme this year is TEAMS, recognizing that together everyone achieves more success. Each presentation will address an aspect of the team mentality and help you identify and develop the talents you need on your coaching team for success.

You will notice sessions are not tracked by disciplines, but rather are topics and concepts that every coach should have knowledge of, regardless of what level or discipline they teach.

The Virtual Summit features more on-ice prerecorded sessions, more interactive sessions, and the tools you need to build a collaborative coaching team.

Check out our teaser trailer to see what we've got in store!
