Women Coaches Symposium

Scholarships Available: We know how dedicated you are to your teams and your growth as leaders, but we also recognize the reality of today’s economic strain. Rising inflation and tight budgets shouldn't force you to put your professional development on hold. To ease this burden, we are offering need-based scholarships for the Women Coaches Symposium. Whether you are a student-athlete stepping into leadership or a coach with limited departmental funding, cost shouldn't stand in the way of your growth.

2026 WCS: Rewrite the Playbook. Own the Moment.

After 10 years, the Women Coaches Symposium (WCS) has helped catalyze systemic change for girls and women by championing, developing, mentoring, and connecting women. The WCS blends data with high-powered speakers and the unstoppable momentum of modern women's athletics to challenge coaches, administrators, and allies to redefine what is possible. The time is now. Together, we can continue to rewrite the rules of recruitment, retention, and respect for girls and women in sport and ensure they own the playbook and capitalize on the moment in women's sport.

The Women Coaches Symposium is back this fall on November 13, and we're working on some exciting experiences for attendees. Speaker announcements, session details, and more are coming soon... Check back here for updates as we finalize the full lineup.
