Golf has long been a way for people to get away from the pressures of everyday and to relax.

In the early morning of August 1, a group of soccer coaches and players will tee it up at the Hawks Landing Golf Club at the Orlando Marriott World Center Resort, the site of the inaugural NSCAA Summer Symposium.

The tournament will be captain’s choice format, to encourage the participation of golfers of all levels. Everyone hits their tee shot and then the team captain will choose the best ball to play from for the next shot.

For those golfers wishing to play their own ball in an additional round, discounted greens fees are available, as well as clubs rental.

This golf outing is a great opportunity for coaches attending the Symposium to play golf with former players residing in the greater Orlando area. Golf tournament participants do not have to be registered for the Symposium itself.

All proceeds will benefit the NSCAA Foundation endowment, which has presently grown to over $300,000. The interest from the endowment is used to fund grants and scholarships for deserving coaches and organizations.

If you cannot attend the tournament yourself, individual hole sponsorships are still available for $100. Please contact Foundation Committee chair and tournament director, Al Albert at afalbe@wm.edu for more information.
