Attention all Coaches,

SCS is in need of All Star coaches for the 2026 SCS All Star Festival in Mission Viejo, CA. As always we are looking for at least 4 coaches from each Geo Committee to coach in the All Star Festival meet. Each coach will also attend the SCS Age Group Coaching Clinic that is built around the All Star meet.

Complete this application to be considered to be on staff for the 2026 SCS All-Star Festival Meet.

Please Turn in Application by Friday, November 7, 2025
The Staff will be selected by Sunday, November 23, 2025

The SCS All-Star Festival will be held in Mission Viejo, CA Jan. 24-25th. The Festival Meet will include a coaches' clinic, Jan 23-24th, taking place around the meet. The coaches' clinic will begin approximately at 1:00 pm on Friday afternoon and conclude about 11:00 am on Saturday morning before the beginning of the Festival Meet. 

SCS All Star Festival Meet:
  • January 23-24, 2026
  • Mission Viejo, CA
  • Marguerite Aquatics Center (27474 Casta Del Sol, Mission Viejo, CA, 92692)

The SCS All-Star Festival represents the best of Southern California Swimming. Selected swimmers are divided up into four teams. Each team will select 8 boys and girls in the following age groups: 10-U, 11-12, & 13-14 for a total of 48 swimmers per team. The team will be selected based on times posted between September 1st and December 15th (the end of the SCS WAG Meet). 

Coaches would be responsible for planning, meet entries, organization, and enthusiastic coaching. This is a parent travel meet so parents will be responsible for food and lodging. Coaches are not responsible for the swimmers outside of the meet and meet related activities. 

Attendance at the Age Group Coaches Clinic is expected. The sessions will be age group related and are designed to provide information and skills that could make a difference when you go back to your teams. We will have a group of highly experienced age group coaches that will speak to many aspects of coaching and team development. 
  • Clinic is free for all SCS Coaches
  • Designed for Age Group Coaches/Program development
  • Open to all coaches
  • Sessions are designed around the Festival All Star Coaches' schedules 

Swimmers are NOT eligible for this meet if they represent Team SCS at the 2025 Pacific Coast All Star Meet.

Times from Sectionals will NOT be included in Team Selections due to the need to make travel plans.

SCS will cover the cost of a hotel for Friday, January 23rd and Saturday, January 24th. Coaches will be able to have their own room. The past three years, the Geo. Committees have provided some assistance for travel, but it likely will not completely cover travel costs. 

Thank you,

Chris Barber
SCS Age Group Chair
