The push to split into classes. Let's talk about it!

A lot of very smart coaches have been working hard to get the ball rolling on the MSHSAA letting us split boys and girls swimming into two classes.  We are very close to the numbers needed but there is a push to go ahead and let us split now.

So far the discussion has centered around these factors that many think are vital to the health of the sport:

Conference Meet Time!

I posted the prelim to the SWMO Championship on the meet results page... Come on coaches, give us some results to browse so we know what is going on in your part of the state!  Submit pdf's or links to shawn.klosterman@gmail.com

thanks!

Conference Meets are Coming Up

Okay, coaches...

We haven't been able to get this site really rolling yet, which is understandable since we all know every one of us is busy, but here is something you can do to add value to the site:

send in meet results from your area for all to see!  With the conference meets coming up, we are all going to be very interested in everything going on in other parts of the state, even beyond what the direct athletics rankings can tell us.  Let's help each other out by making sure your fellow MISCA members can see the action in your area.

I recently posted the Central Ozarks Conference Invite and Springfield Invitational from the SWMO area.  If you have any other past meets, I am happy to post them.  Just email pdf's or links to shawn.klosterman@gmail.com

This is why we have a site guys... to share information!

Videos from the Mizzou Clinic

If you missed the clinic at Mizzou you really missed something special.  It is very evident from the short time we spent there that Coach Rhodenbaugh has assembled a fantastic staff and they are on the way up.  Everyone there was truly a class act.

Also, a big thanks to Jim Aziere and the rest of the MISCA board for the work they did to put this together.  Becoming a member of MISCA is becoming more valuable than ever because of their work.

While we haven't been able to get all of the information from the clinic yet to post here, Coach Andy Grevers sent me links to some videos with notes through Dropbox.  Please let me know if you have trouble playing the videos or if you need to slow them down.

Welcome to the New MISCA Website!

We hope that this site can become a hang-out for high school swimming and diving coaches in Missouri who are members of the Missouri Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association (MISCA).

We  want to post meet information and results for all to see, but we also want this to become a place for discussion to move our sport forward.  If you have any ideas to make this site better, please don't hesitate to let us know.
