Morning Coffee: USCA Coaching Videos

The USCA posted a helpful new 21-part video series this week on referee instruction produced by Bob Kroeger and Ted Prentis. I skipped ahead to the segment on marking balls, which is quite useful. I am looking forward to viewing the full series. It's definitely a good approach to helping everyone on the court.

The long term plan seems a bit unclear as it is posted on the announcements page (which means no sticky link). And although the videos are hosted on YouTube, they are semi-hidden. I suspect the long-term plan is to place them behind the member gate on the USCA site.

For now, you can locate the series at the top of that announcements page:
