EBL Youth Coach Seminar – Prague, 14–15 November 2025

140

The EBL Youth Committee invites youth coaches to the next edition of the EBL Youth Coach Seminar in Prague, Czech Republic, on 14–15 November 2025.

About the seminar

The seminar is a forum for youth coaches and others involved in recruiting and teaching young players to network, exchange ideas, and discuss the art that is teaching young players. In two days filled with discussions and presentations by different people we talk about the special elements and challenges of teaching youth players. You can read more about previous seminars here: eurobridge.org/education/youth-coach.

Participation and support

The EBL sponsors the participation of two youth coaches per NBO, covering hotel nights, breakfasts and dinners at Hotel Olympic in Prague.

The seminar runs alongside the Prague Youth Bridge Festival (not organised by the EBL), so coaches may attend as coach/captain of a team playing in the festival, or attend independently without NBO appointment.

Focus

This year’s seminar will focus on practical aspects of coaching youth players, with one day focusing more on coaching ’advanced’ youth players and preparing for competitions/tournaments (for instance an international championship) and one day more focused on general coaching and teaching of youth players. However, the seminar belongs to the youth coaches and will handle the topics that the youth coaches want to discuss. Suggestions for agenda items are welcome.

Schedule

Start: Saturday at
Finish: Sunday around
The detailed schedule and full program will be published in due course.
