Connect With Coaches Who Get It
Meet people who understand the demands of coaching, the challenges of working in schools, and the responsibility of developing young athletes. Sometimes knowing you're not alone makes all the difference.
2026 NHSSCA South Carolina Family Day
You shouldn't have to coach alone.
Sometimes the most valuable thing you take away from an NHSSCA event isn't a new training program. It's a conversation with someone who understands what you do.
Join fellow South Carolina coaches for a casual evening at Southern Growl. No presentations. No formal agenda. Just good conversations, new connections, and people who understand the work.
Two hours. Real conversations. Your coaching community.
Strength coaches • Sport coaches • PE teachers • Athletic directors • Administrators • Young professionals
Why Attend?
Good People.
Real Conversations.
You spend a lot of time helping athletes and supporting your program. But how often do you get to connect with people who understand what that takes? South Carolina Family Day is about making those connections happen. No presentations. No pressure. Just an opportunity to get together with fellow coaches.
Have Conversations That Matter
Talk shop, exchange experiences, ask questions, or simply catch up. The best ideas don't always come from a presentation. Sometimes they start with an honest conversation between coaches.
Build Your Coaching Network
Strengthen relationships with coaches you already know and meet others you can stay connected with throughout the year. Build a network of people you can reach out to long after the evening ends.
Bring One More Into the Room
Know a sport coach, PE teacher, or colleague who should be part of this community? Invite them to come with you. You don't have to be an NHSSCA member to make a connection that matters.
The best connections start when you show up.

Coaches New to NHSSCA

Who's Your 1 More?
Think about the coaches and educators in your school or district who aren't connected with NHSSCA yet. Who could benefit from knowing they're not doing this work alone?
South Carolina Family Day is the perfect opportunity to make that introduction. No formal presentations. No membership pitch. Just a casual evening where people can meet, talk, and build relationships.
- The sport coach responsible for the team weight room.
- A PE teacher who helps develop student-athletes.
- A young coach who could use experienced people in their corner.
- A colleague who has never attended an NHSSCA event.
Your invitation might be the reason someone finds their coaching community. Save your seat, then personally invite one coach or educator to join you at Southern Growl on November 14.
What to Expect
No Agenda. Just Connection.
Forget the conference schedule and classroom presentations. South Carolina Family Day is simply an opportunity to get together. Come as you are, meet fellow coaches, and enjoy an evening of conversation at Southern Growl.
A Different Kind of Family Day
Pull Up a Chair. Join the Conversation.
There's no stage, no speaker lineup, and no formal program to follow.
This is a chance to spend time with people who understand coaching because they're doing the work too. Share what's happening in your program, hear what others are experiencing, or just enjoy getting to know another coach.
Whether you know everyone or don't know a single person, you're welcome in the room.
Show Up As You Are
No preparation needed and no presentations to sit through. Just come ready to spend time with fellow coaches and educators.
Join the Conversation
Talk about coaching, the weight room, your athletes, your school, or whatever comes up. You never know which conversation might lead to a valuable new connection.
Leave More Connected
Meet someone new, reconnect with an old friend, and leave knowing there are people you can reach out to beyond your own school or program.
