Athletics TEAM Symposium - Goodyear

Wednesday, April 8, 2026 (8:30 AM - 2:00 PM) (MST)

Description

Join the APRA Athletics TEAM for a morning of learning, collaboration, and networking focused on strengthening athletic programming and leadership in parks and recreation. This symposium brings together professionals from across Arizona to share ideas, discuss current trends, and explore strategies for improving community sports programs.

The day will begin with a light breakfast and check-in, followed by a welcome session and keynote presentation designed to inspire and provide insight into the evolving landscape of athletics and recreation. Participants will then have the opportunity to attend two breakout sessions, choosing from concurrent topics that highlight innovative approaches, program development, operations, and best practices within athletics programming.

After the education sessions, attendees will enjoy lunch and networking, providing time to connect with peers, exchange ideas, and build relationships with fellow recreation professionals from across the state.

This symposium is a great opportunity for athletic coordinators, supervisors, program staff, and recreation professionals to gain new ideas, earn continuing education, and strengthen the impact of community sports programs.

Whether you’re looking for new programming ideas, operational insights, or meaningful connections with colleagues in the field, the APRA Athletics TEAM Symposium is a great opportunity to learn, share, and grow together.
