Lexington, KY
The NASPAA clinic allows the public address announcers from throughout the state the chance to get together and grow both personally and professionally in this important part of athletic contest management. The P.A. announcer is key to handling situations that arise, maintaining the proper level of good sportsmanship, and helping the fans understand what is happening at a contest. This clinic is a great way to maintain and improve the skills of announcers regardless of experience level.
