The Professional Development Series (PDS) is a select number of lectures and seminars, featured at the AFCA convention, aimed at promoting professional and personal growth among football coaches. At each AFCA convention, each PDS participant receives a PDS verification card. AFTER each PDS-designated seminar, a committee member will stamp the verification card to confirm attendance. Participants must attend a specified number of PDS-designated seminars in order to complete the Professional Development Series. After the convention, the verification cards are processed at the AFCA headquarters and an AFCA/NCAA Professional Development Series Certificate of Completion is mailed to the participant.

AFCA Schedule TBA
