Coaches are always needed!
Head Coach applications will be accepted until September 1st. Candidates will be interviewed in early September and selected before try-outs whenever possible.
Assistant coaches will be vetted by the competitive committee but will not be selected/named until teams are formed. Season expectations of a head coach include:
- Assist in selection of your team following try-outs
- Deliver "cut" letters to those not making the team (with assistance from the association)
- Plan team winter work-outs/practices (January - April)
- Lead the team through a competitive season (May-August)
- Plan to attend tournaments throughout the season, hosting one, and qualify for the provincial tournament (Labor Day for 16U and below, first 2 weeks of August for 22U and 18U)
If you have a National Coaches Certification Program (NCCP) identification number, please include it in your personal profile when you register.
