BOSCA Regional workshops provide a perfect opportunity for staff growth and development with interactive sessions that cover pressing issues that small college athletic departments are currently faced with.  Designed for athletic administrators from D2, D3, NAIA, and NJCAA institutions, the workshop provides multiple opportunities to share ideas with peers from around the region. This is a one-day event designed to maximize your time, reduce expense, and work well for your entire staff to attend.  Make plans to join us on the campus of Southeastern University in February, 2026!!
