2024 NHSBCA Summer Congress Recap

By NHSBCA on Jul 24, 2024 7:17:47 AM

The 2024 National High School Basketball Coaches Association Summer Congress met in Nashville, Tennessee July 9th- 11th. 30 State Basketball Coaches Associations were represented with 65 total attendees (both attendance records). Many things were discussed, including the state-run June Scholastic Events sponsored by the NHSBCA, Educate to Navigate Initiative, 28.5 Women’s Basketball Initiative, We’ve Got Next Coaches Mentoring Initiative, and numerous other topics that impact high school basketball on and off the court. We took a field trip to the Country Music Hall of Fame and enjoyed the sights and sounds of the country music scene of Nashville. We had numerous presentations from our sponsors (Coaches vs Cancer, Ballogy, LUCEO, and many others).

Overall, we accomplished what we set out to do… continue to “Grow the Game”. A special thanks goes out to Bruce Slatten and the BCAT for their hospitality and leadership. Currently we are in the planning stages for next year's Conference in July in Savannah, Georgia. We look forward to showing everyone some southern hospitality and culture.
