2019 NSDA Nationals - Information for Coaches

Congratulations to the 13 schools who have qualified students to the 2019 NSDA Nationals Tournament!
This year's National Tournament will be held June 15 - 22, 2019 in Dallas, Texas!

For more than two decades, schools that qualify to Nationals from the Eastern Missouri NSDA District have held a tradition where they cease to operate as different schools and, instead, work together as ONE TEAM.  This gives students opportunities to practice with each other and work with different coaches from around our region, coaches the opportunity to collaborate and work together to guide students, and parents the peace of mind knowing that their child is always with a trusted adult throughout the week!

COACHES -- THE BUTTONS BELOW WILL BECOME ACTIVE AT DIFFERENT TIMES BETWEEN MID-MARCH AND DEPARTURE FOR NATIONALS!  It is organized chronologically!
Two coaches volunteer as your "points of contact" during Nationals Preparation:
  • Justin Seiwell, District Chair, will guide you through registration and necessary travel documentation.
  • ​Randy Pierce, District Treasurer, will handle all things related to our hotel and invoicing.
