Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Nevada

I conduct a football clinic (techniques & skills) on the weekends, been doing so since last year at this time starting out for my son, it is solely voluntary for both parties that attend although our agreement is that I get paid (in theory) by they're (attendee's) visual and physical commitment of putting to use what I teach and show them so they can get a chance to compete and/or get to participate at practice and/or play in games which they haven't been prior to working with me.

On Sept 26th a High School Football Freshman Coach from my son's HS instructed his team, some of whom are my attendee's that they were no longer allowed to work with me and/or attend my football clinic on the weekend for the rest of the football season and implied a threat that if they did they would not be playing on his team. I lost 5 players from his actions and the season ended last Thursday.

My son attends this school, he played for this coach last year, until this, the coach and I have never had an issue or problems. I have never interfered or attended his practices this year, I do not instruct my attendee's on actual plays that the coach uses during his season. I solely work on techniques and skills of a football position i.e Linebacker, Lineman, Receivers...

I would like to ask a civil court judge what LEGALl and/or LAWFUL right does this one coach have to do such a thing?

My question to you is what would be my legal recourse with civil litigation law against this Coach and his actions.

I believe he has:

1). Defamed my Character with the whole team, my attendee's and their parents.

2). Damaged me with loss of Income (in theory) with the loss of my Attendee's who pay me via our verbal contract to attend the clinic.

3). He's cost me additional clients (attendee's).

I have been informed by many that he has violated my rights in more ways but would like to hear from a attorney.

I am passionate about the clinic I conduct with my son and these players, the coaches tell parents every year that if they don't invest in teaching their child these things that they (the coaches) wouldn't be able to do it and that their child would most likely not play in many games. The parents honor my clinic due to their inability to teach their own kids to econmic servival. All if not most of my attendee's became Captains, Starters and even Scout Team players when they weren't even participating at all before.

Thank you for your help in this matter
