All who are interested in becoming a Head or Assistant Coach must complete a profile via the Registration tab and attend the coaches meeting. Head Coaches are selected based on team availability, returning coaches are granted seniority.
Upon team assignment and prior to the first practice all Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Dugout Helpers are required to submit an application and pass a thorough background screening. It is the responsibility of the Head Coach to confirm all assistants and helpers are aware and that all paperwork is submitted.
