The training camp was at deer valley meadows in alix, which is almost a 2 hour ride from Edmonton. All the Alberta coaches were expected to arrive there by 7pm but I got dropped off earlier at around 3 pm. When I got there, no other coaches were there except for the 6 head coaches (2 AB, 2 BC, 2 ON) who were having head coach training. I met up with Bev (Alberta coach coordinator) and she told me to finish some paperwork in my room and then come out and join the head coaches on the field. I definitely felt quite intimidated since I was the only coach there. What made it even more terrifying was that Clarke (BC coach coordinator) had the head coaches play 1v1 and had me join them as well.
Fortunately I knew about half the head coaches already so it wasn't difficult to get reacquainted. Actually all the head coaches were really awesome and easy to talk to, each of them actually came up to me and made conversation which really helped me feel more comfortable and settled in. After dinner the rest of the AB coaches arrived and all of us went onto the field for training in the heavy rain. The AB coaches got to know each other better and we socialized until it was time to sleep.
On team AB 1, there's my head coach kaitlyn, as well as Lane, Brittany, and myself. On team AB 2, the head coach was Amy, the other three members were Travis, Jason, and Angela.
