Get MORE out of your professional development!

Tired of conventions that cater more to the needs of Division I athletic departments or focus more on legislation than idea sharing? BOSCA is the only event of it's kind that focuses solely on professional development programming for non-DI athletic departments.

The BOSCA convention provides attendees the opportunity to learn from and network with other administrators that understand the unique challenges of operating in smaller athletic departments with limited staff and resources. BOSCA provides relevant professional development and networking opportunities in a focused format featuring conversation about current topics in athletic administration. 

Get MORE out of your professional development investment by joining us at the 13th annual BOSCA Convention from July 13-15, 2025 in Chicago.

What they're saying about BOSCA

“BOSCA is a great resource to grow in collegiate athletics. The convention is designed for professional development and creates a unique opportunity to network with colleagues at peer institutions. I would highly recommend participating in BOSCA”.

Doug Lipinksi, Athletic Director – West Texas A&M University

"BOSCA is an absolute trailblazer, carving out its own unique path for those affiliated with small colleges. I was fully engaged in every component of the convention, because finally, all of the information felt completely relevant to my lived experiences in the small college space. I was able to connect easily with people from around the country, spanning all divisions and governing bodies, sharing unique perspectives on scenarios we all experience regularly."

Alaina Smith Walker - Asst. AD - Internal Operations - Life University

“I learned so much from the BOSCA workshop and made important connections with administrators that will benefit my professional growth in impactful ways.”

Adrienne Shibles, Associate AD/SWA – Bates College

“The BOSCA summer convention is one of the most concise, relevant, and rewarding professional development experiences of my career.”

Sean Johnson, Athletic Director – Newberry College

Don Faulstick, Athletic Director – Amherst College

“BOSCA is A GAME CHANGER and a one-of-a-kind experience! I’ve been too multiple BOSCA conventions and walked away every time feeling recharged, inspired, and equipped with practical knowledge and tools to excel and thrive in my position.”

Darnell Smith, Athletic Director – Texas A&M University – San Antonio

"BOSCA is a great way to recharge and connect with others in the industry. BOSCA has always been an event I refer back to throughout the year when implementing new ideas into the department. You ALWAYS leave with something GREAT!"

Chandler Short, Associate Athletic Director/SWA – University of Central Oklahoma

"This was my first time attending a BOSCA event, and based upon what I experienced, it will not be my last. It was great to have an opportunity to meet in person with administrators in other divisions/conferences that I typically only get to trade emails with, and I look forward to continuing to carry those relationships forward in the future."
