Football Clinic Cruise 2026

Jan 15, 2026 to Jan 19, 2026

 
Onboard the Mariner of the Seas
 

We will hold our 6th Annual Clinic from January 15 - 19, 2026. We are excited to host an event that encourages coaches to celebrate family! We’ve kept the cost as low as possible so you can bring along your spouse, children, friends, or additional staff. Childcare is free for ages 3 – 17, and special pricing is available for them to share a cabin with you. Everyone must be in Galveston, TX, to board the ship by 3:30 PM on the 15th.

Please email for family rates (more than 2 per cabin). 

Also, all Royal Caribbean ships are certified 'Autism Friendly.' More info here.

Our conference will include 12 HOURS OF PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT focused on high school football, strength and conditioning coaching, Panel Discussions, and a Wives Events program. Clinic Sessions will be on At Sea days and Before Lunchtime to enable you to spend more time with your family. After Clinic Sessions, we can all continue to connect as we journey, on board the Harmony of the Seas!

Each attendee will have access to special meetings, breakout sessions, handouts, videos, and more.

FANTASTIC Speakers will be announced soon. Coaches from Multiple States will be Attending.

Here are a few photos from our 2025 Cruise! This was our largest group so far! 50 coaches from 13 states and 35 Coaches' Kids!

 Each attendee will have access to meetings, breakout sessions, handouts, and the ability to participate in a round-table discussion.
 
Wives will also have sessions and socials to gain knowledge from other women who know what life is like as a Coach’s Wife. 
 
But this event is MORE than just a clinic! We will celebrate FAMILY on the Royal Caribbean Mariner of the Seas as we sail to the sunny Western Caribbean! Celebrate WITH Your family WHILE you Complete your Professional Development.
 

This will be a shorter cruise like 2025, which proved very popular and was our largest group yet. It will also be on a holiday weekend. Hopefully, this will enable you to attend without requiring you to take too many days off.

This is a CAN'T-MISS EVENT! Sign up today to reserve one of the LIMITED (only 40 cabins reserved at these rates) spots available before time runs out! To reserve a spot and get the best rate possible (quoted below)
