Minnesota State High School Coaches Clinic
The 2009 Minnesota State High School Soccer Coaches Association Clinic took place on Friday at Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, Minnesota on Friday. Nearly 300 coaches attended the clinic that was held both indoors and outdoors. Clinics where well attended throughout the morning and early afternoon even though temperatures swelled to over 90° in the afternoon sessions.
Some of the clinicians were Jerrod Roh and Mikki Denny-Wright from the U of M Gophers staff. In fact the whole womens team attended as the coaching staff used them for the clinic practice sessions.
Craig Lang is a name familiar to many coaches who have been around soccer in Minnesota for years. Lang was the one of the first two A licensed coaches in the state of Minnesota along with Buzz Lagos and ran several clinics throughout the day.
