According to GNTF president Torgun Smith, “Coaching is a critical element of development, the more coaches we can get properly trained, the more players we can develop.”

“The GNTF Coaches Education Committee is excited to launch its first program and looks forward to more in the future. Quality coaching is critical to improving the quality of play.” Says Joe Cepeda, GNTF Coaches Education Chairperson.
