This is an awesome clinic!!! The pace of this clinic is like no other you have probably attended. I have gone each of the past 3 years. I just hate that it conflicts with another great clinic the George Whitfield Clinic held at Southern Wayne High School.

Coach--this looks to be an awesome clinic. Do you get a lot of NC coaches to attend the one in Richmond?

 

I have seen coaches from all over NC at The Bash, the only problems is that it usually clashes with the George Whitfield Clinic in Wayne County at Southern Wayne High School. (remember when Coach Whitfield was at Richmond County, he held it there). So the problem is that there are 2 really good clinics out there for coaches to attend, it is just a matter of getting to one. I have been to both and can say that they are both pretty darn good, just the formats are different. The idea of "The Bash" part is good because it is usually 20 minutes of intense speaking. The Whitfield Clinic does allow you to talk with NC college coaches and scouts that attend. You can't go wrong with either, I usually alternate clinics based on who I either haven't heard or want to hear again!
