Coaches,
Congratulations on the finish of another season of Quizbowl/Academic Team/Scholar Bowl or whatever your school calls our sport of the mind! Whether you just got back from state or have been done for a month, I know you’re making a difference in the lives of the students we teach. Thank you for a great season!
To get some dates in your hands, the Missouri Academic Coaches Association will hold our annual meeting next year on October 15, 2025. This will be at Stoney Creek Inn and Convention Center (2601 S Providence Rd, Columbia, MO 65203). We will begin check-in and registration at 7:30, with opening comments at 8:15. As always, we will do our best to offer the breakout sessions for all levels of coaches.
To sign up for membership for the 2025-2026 school year and register for the 2025 conference, Please use the form on THIS PAGE. No invoices will be sent and checks will not be deposited until the new fiscal year. We will send these in advance of the conference.
If you have ideas or specific breakout sessions you’d like to see, please use THIS FORM. We’d love to include a variety of sessions to meet your needs. Please know, we have limited times to provide sessions, and we’ll try to provide a Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced session in each timeslot. If we do not include your suggestion this year, please make it in the future.
Finally, every year at the conference, we award the “Coach of the Year” awards to deserving coaches. While team success is part of the formula, there is more to coaching than just winning. If you believe someone deserves this award, please fill out THIS FORM. While the officers will make the final decision, we would love feedback from around the state. Please note: This must be a current MACA member.
We look forward to a nice break over the summer and we’ll be excited to see you next season. If you are retiring, leaving education, or moving on from coaching; please forward this to the new coach and let us know who to send future communications to.
Thanks everyone!
