Please be aware, and make sure that your coaches are aware, that there will be zero tolerance for coaches who need a Level 4 who do not attend a Level 4. I do not want to hear from coaches in Jan. or Feb. that they did not know about the rules, or when the clinics would be held. They will be out of luck at that point. If there truly are extenuating circumstances, we need to hear about them now.
