The CRCA and King Racing are excited to announce the inaugural cohort for the 2023 Academy of Future Coaches presented by King Racing. These future coaches will participate in an 8-week virtual academy learning from some of the best coaches in the business and come away with the knowledge needed to be successful as they begin their careers in collegiate coaching. 

CRCA Executive Director John Gartin: “The number of applications for this academy shows just how excited current student-athletes are to learn more about coaching. We are grateful to be able to do our part in growing interest and numbers for such a great sport and profession and for the tremendous coaches who will be participating as presenters.”
