Thank you to all the Officials who attended our NCS Spring Splash Workshop. Special Thanks to Rob Stevens, NCS Officials Chair, along with Anne Marie Schneider and Colleen Gillan for leading the various clinics offered. We had several officials clinics that took place from deck training certifications, to starter clinic, and official certifications. We are a sport that is volunteer dependent, always seeking others to get involved and get that front row seat watching your child swim. After a one day workshop we had 14 new Officials advancing their knowledge in making our sport better. #NCSOfficiallyAwesome #NCSWorksBetter2Gether # WEARENCS
