Why Join?

Be Informed

As a WSDDCA member, you will receive periodic emails updating you on information that is pertinent to coaches. This includes information about competitions, rules changes, and events, including the State Dance/Drill Championships.

WSDDCA Website

The WSDDCA website www.wsddca.com has much of the information needed to help you be an effective coach. This website is paid for entirely by WSDDCA members.

WSDDCA Facebook Group

With WSDDCA membership, join a closed Facebook group to connect and network with coaches.
We've created the Facebook Group as a place to share with each other in a positive manner. All primary and associate members of our organization are invited to participate in the group which means you may be communicating with judges, former coaches and contributors to our association. The Executive Directors and the President moderate the group and will remove posts which do not represent the supportive guidelines of our community. We welcome you to post any time, help contribute to the discussions. We're all here to help and encourage one another.

Voting Rights

Only WSDDCA members are able to vote regarding proposals that impact all dance/drill teams in Washington. This includes determining many aspects pertaining to judging, such as the content of score sheets.

Voice with the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA)

The WSDDCA represents, and advocates for, Washington Dance/Drill Coaches.
