This page covers the strongest options for operators, coaches, and program directors working in youth athletics and recreation. The list runs from the ACES Annual Conference in Fort Worth at the start of the month through the NHSSCA Florida State Clinic in Lakeland on March 14. It also includes the URPA Annual Conference in St. George and the PRPS Annual Conference and Expo, both useful for parks and recreation professionals with youth programming responsibilities. If you are trying to plan travel, build partnerships, or get in front of the right peers before spring leagues kick off, the timing here matters. These events cluster in the first half of March, which gives you room to attend more than one without the schedule conflicts that tend to pile up later in the quarter.
