NHSSCA Massachusetts Family Social

No presentations.
No lectures. Just the #Family.

Come spend a few hours with coaches and professionals who understand the work — and bring the people who support you outside of it. No formal agenda. No classroom. Just good food, honest conversation, shared experiences, and a chance to connect.

Bring your spouse. Bring your kids.

This one is for the whole family. Relax, grab some food, talk shop, and spend the evening with the NHSSCA community.

Time 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Braintree, Massachusetts
Cost Free

The 1 More Invitation

Come with your people. Bring 1 More.

If you are already connected to NHSSCA, this is your chance to bring somebody into the room with you. Maybe it is another strength coach. Maybe it is the sport coach down the hall, a PE teacher, an athletic director, a young professional, or someone who simply needs to know there is a community of people who understand the work.

Don’t just send them the link. Invite them.

Social posts and emails can create awareness. Relationships grow when somebody personally says, “Come with me.”

So What Happens When You Get There?

Eat. Talk. Connect.

That’s it — and that’s the point. This isn’t a clinic squeezed into a restaurant. There is no presentation to sit through, no lecture notes to take, and no formal agenda to follow. It is simply a few hours to slow down, share a table, talk about the work, laugh a little, and get to know the people behind the profession.

01

Eat.

Grab some food, enjoy the appetizers, sit down with your family, and make yourself comfortable. No rushing from session to session. Just time together around the table.

02

Talk.

Talk programming. Talk athletes. Talk administration. Talk about what is working — or what is driving you crazy. There is no topic you have to cover. Just honest conversation with people who understand the environment.

03

Connect.

Meet another coach. Introduce your spouse. Let the kids hang out. Put faces to names and build relationships that can continue long after the night is over. That is what #FAMILY is supposed to feel like.

No agenda. No pressure.

Come at 7:00. Stay for the evening. Meet somebody new. Catch up with somebody you already know. You do not have to earn your way into the conversation. Whether you are a longtime NHSSCA member or this is your first time around the community, you are welcome at the table.

And remember: this is a Family Social. Your spouse and kids are not an afterthought. Bring them with you.
