You can register to coach during the process of registering your kid. Once you sign up to coach, the League Coordinator will reach out to you in the weeks before the season is set to begin and arrange to get you all the equipment and information you will need. We will hold a coaches meeting to run through all the details. 

All coaches, volunteers and helpers must obtain the following Clearances and Concussion Certification. #1 & #2 are good for 5 years. #3 must be completed each year. If you already have all the documents listed in Step 1, you can skip to Step 2.
