The SCIAC will continue its partnership with WeCOACH in the second year of its Divisions II and III Development Program, which now includes 42 conferences.

The year-round professional growth and leadership development program offers a number of different opportunities for participants across all sports to engage, highlighted by three 90-minute Development Sessions (fall, winter, & spring) focused on offering strategies and best practices to successfully navigate timely issues impacting the coaching profession.

Three SCIAC coaches were accepted to last year's in-person Development Academy programs, including Mastery Award winner Jen Scanlon of Pomona-Pitzer Colleges women's soccer. 

About WeCOACH
Founded in 2011, WeCOACH is a one-of-a-king 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to recruiting, advancing, and retaining women coaches in all sports and levels through year-round professional growth & leadership development programs. Prior to Title IX, over 90% of women's collegiate sports teams were coached by women. Today, over 50 years later, the data indicates that number has decreased to 46% in Division I, 41% across all three NCAA Divisions, with only 6.2% women head coaches of color (Division I). Only 5% women coach men's teams. At the youth level, the data is hard to estimate, approximately less than 20% of teams are coached by women. WeCOACH launched MOVE the NUMBERS in 2022 to help change the landscape for women coaches and the student-athletes they lead. If she can see her, she can be her.
