IBCA clinic for 2026

The 2026 IBCA Clinic will be held in a Thursday evening-Friday format for the fourth consecutive year. More than 800 coaches attended the 2025 IBCA Clinic, so this format will be continued.

This year’s clinic will return to Mt. Vernon High School in Fortville, Indiana, its site the past three years.

The 2026 clinic will be on Thursday evening, April 23 and on Friday, April 24.

The clinic's first session will begin at 5:50 p.m. EDT on Thursday with three featured speakers and a social hosted by the IBCA at the end of the evening. Session 2 will begin at 9:30 a.m. EDT on Friday. We hope that coaches again enjoy this two-day format.

More information (including hotel information) will be shared regarding the 2026 IBCA Clinic in future updates and in our IBCA spring newsletter that goes online about April 1, 2026.

The registration form for the 2026 Clinic is expected to open on Jan. 6, 2026.

Here is information on the 2026 Spring Clinic, as best we can share now.
