Pacific Southwest Collegiate Forensics Association
2025 Coaches Conference
July 5, 2025
Hello PSCFA!
We want to extend an invitation to the 2025 Pacific Southwest Collegiate Forensics Coaches Conference. We will be going back to Omni Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa in Rancho Mirage on September 5-7.
This year the room rate is $219 per night, plus $50 per school for event space. There are additional taxes & fees outlined below. Please book your rooms by August 12, 2025. We cannot guarantee the group rate beyond this date. You may book rooms online.
Included is the tentative schedule for the conference. At this point in time, I am looking for potential session topics. Here is a form to add your suggestions. Please, complete by 8/24. If you have something in mind for panel discussions, I can either set up times for you to present, or I can contact some folks who might be able to run a session on whatever subject matter you would like to see at the conference.
As always, we will be going over the schedule of tournaments for the upcoming year during the business meeting. Please view the 2025 – 2026 PSCFA Tournament Calendar to schedule your competition calendar and determine the dates for hosting your tournaments. You can also edit the Calendar to provide accurate information for your tournaments.
Also, please see the attached Fee Sheet.
We hope you are having a wonderful summer!
