Philosophy
Volunteer coaches are our greatest assets in delivering quality programs to the
children in our community. Youth volunteer coaches are "special" because
they directly influence each team members’ experience either positively or
negatively. The average coach has approximately 36-40 contact hours with parents
and participants facilitating practices, making phone calls and attending games.
It is our hope that this program will assist us in recruiting, motivating and
maintaining the best possible volunteer coaches. The end result is hopefully to
increase attendance at coaches meeting, have coaches in place 7-10 days before
season begins and have all coaches trained, educated and certified prior to the
season in an efficient manner.
How the program
works?
The interested coaches
register his/her child and pays for the registration. If selected or appointed
as a head coach, a credit will be placed on his/her account equal the amount of
the Child’s registration upon completion of the season and all coaching
related criteria. This credit can only be used towards a Community Services
program, and will only be granted after receiving a credit request from the
coach in writing. Credit given is only good for Early-bird registration fees.
Qualification Criteria*
A coach is eligible for a maximum of
one (1) credit per sport each season. (Regardless if coaching multiple teams or
having more than one (1) child participating). Credit
is only given if a coach completes the entire season and fulfills all
requirements listed below.
