In April 2011, Project Coach worked alongside the Institute for Training and Development to host a series of coaching and leadership workshops for youth from Marseilles, France, culminating in two Community Sports Days. Springfield-based coaches worked alongside their European counterparts during their visit, and have been invited on the return leg of the exchange to France in February, 2012.

Project Coach extends its best wishes to the delegation of ten French youth that joined us for an exhilarating three weeks of coaching, relationship-building, and outright fun. We eagerly anticipate the return leg of the exchange in February 2012, when ten Springfield coaches will have the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to visit the wonderful city of Marseille.

Check out our blog for several stories depicting the exchange visit.
