Registration Open for Spring 2023 BOSCA Academies

Registration is open now for the 2023 Spring cohorts of the BOSCA Leadership Academy and the BOSCA Revenue Generation Academy.  Space for each cohort is limited to 15 administrators.

The BOSCA Leadership Academy is focused on building the administrative skills necessary to lead a small college athletic department.  Academy participants meet virtually in 5 sessions that provide a broad outline designed to cover all administrative aspects of running a successful, mission focused, department.

The BOSCA Revenue Generation Academy is focused on building sustainable external revenue generation programs in small college athletic departments.  Academy participants meet virtually in 5 sessions that provide focused instruction on building successful revenue generation programs in your department.

Each session is led by veteran administrators Jim Abbott and John Phillips.  The pair have more than 50 years of combined experience working as small college athletic administrators.  If you have questions about either BOSCA Academy contact Jim Abbott at (405) 208-9133 or jim@smallcollegeathletics.com

As a new Athletic Director, the timing and content of the BOSCA Leadership Academy could not have come at a better time. The curriculum challenged me to think critically about how we are building our program here at Rocky Mountain College, and was a great way to connect with other small college administrators. Jim Abbott and John Phillips' experience and passion for small college athletics helped provide me with much needed confidence, as I took on the challenges of running an athletic department for the first time. I am a better AD because of this program and would highly recommend it to any small college administrator wanting to make their department better!" 

Jim Klemann, Athletic Director - Rocky Mountain College

“I have been blessed to have a mentor and friend in Jim Abbott, whom I met over 8 years ago at my first BOSCA event in 2013. Pursuing a new career path from 15 years of coaching to full time athletics administrator, Jim took me under his wing and has been a valuable resource in my success. Jim and the network of professionals I met through BOSCA were one phone call away to help me navigate the challenges as a new athletic director. BOSCA is a first-class workshop filled with sharing, learning, and networking that transforms leaders. The impact on BOSCA attendees has been life-changing. Jim has discovered what matters most in life, which is to reach beyond himself and to invest his life in empowering others to fulfill their potential as athletic administrators. There is no question in my mind that any person who is wishing to grow as an athletic administrator should participate in the BOSCA Leadership Academy. Without Jim’s mentorship, I would not be where I am today.”
