Coaching clinics are a great way to learn the Pistol Spread Option offensive system through coaches that currently run the system. The format is an all-day clinic with several coaching staffs that run the PSO as well as Anthony Pratley speaking on the offense in general.
Admission to the Clinics is $30 per coach or $50 for an entire staff. More information on the clinics can be found by clicking on the links above. Registration on the Clinics page.
