Director – Player & Coach Development Report

November 15, 2020

To say that 2020 has been a difficult year for our community would be an understatement. The lockdown of Spring 2020 due to Covid19 restricted RMMSA from running its Spring and Spring Break clinics that were scheduled. With the shift in the 2020 season moving into June-September it also put challenges on the clinics and not being able to run our usual Summer clinics & early bird clinics. In saying that all the executive members, athletes & parents were understanding in the adjustments that needed to be made in order to keep everyone safe and following the RTP guidelines. By not running these sessions it allowed teams and players to have the field time and work together to become a strong cohesive unit. I believe the remainder of 2020 & 2021 will continue to provide struggles in development for players and as an association I believe we need to start to think outside of the box a little bit. So far for 2020 clinics have generated over $20,720 in gross revenue to RMMSA. (See the Breakdown Below).
