“The Hub” has been created as a central area on the MIAA website for video content that students, coaches, athletic directors, administrators and more can explore and access on their own time, at their own pace.
The video presentations cover a variety of educational athletics topics and are organized according to the core competencies of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). Most videos are approximately 15-20 minutes in duration and presented by speakers that the MIAA has partnered with through initiatives such as the New England Student Leadership Conference, Wellness Summit, Sportsmanship Summit and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit. Below are the videos currently available on “The Hub”.
