Todd,

Does one have to have done the Level I and II courses in order to do the Level III?

Wilson,
Coaches do NOT need to have completed either the Level 1 or Level 2 programs to attend this.

This is the information from the USATF site regarding Level 3 attendance.
...Level 3 seminars are open to anyone wishing to attend (prior USATF courses are not required). However, in order to obtain Level 3 Coach status, a participant must already be a Level 2 Coach...

You can go to the USATF site to read more about the Level 3 Coaching status. http://www.usatf.org/groups/Coaches/education/level3.asp

We hope to see you there. This will truly be a unique experience. Here are some of the featured speakers.

Greg Hull USATF Development
Tom Hays University of Kansas
Jim Bemiller University of Tennessee
Greg Kraft Arizona State University
Ralph Lindeman United States Air Force Academy
Dr. Peter McGinnis SUNY Courtland
Dr. Rick McGuire University of Missouri
Tim McClelland Perform Better

Take care,

Todd

It would not surprise me if there was some casual pole vault banter shared between coaches while also enjoying a cold beverage.
