COACH/BENCH QUALIFICATIONS
- Coach qualifications for DISTRICT 1 are to be followed. HEO has different qualifications, and are the minimum. Coaches/trainers must follow the proper protocol for D1 qualifications below.
- Any coach who was on the bench last year, and did not have proper qualifications (last year we used HEO standards), will not be permitted on the bench/roster this year until qualifications are obtained.
- ALL volunteers REQUIRE VSCRC checks. Anyone who does not get this done is NOT permitted on a roster. It is up to the Association Registrar to manage that,
- There are NO ON-ICE HELPERS. Everyone must have proper bench/coach qualifications (level, RIS, VSCRC); unless it's a student getting volunteer hours (age 16 and over needs VSCRC).
- NO BENCH STAFF IS TO BE ADDED TO A ROSTER WITHOUT COMPLETE QUALIFICATIONS...if they are registered for a clinic they will be approved as PENDING. So with this being said, they need to have the following to be added : appropriate coaching course as required for level they are coaching, VSCRC, RIS, Gender Identity Equality course.
If you are interested in coaching, please send an email to sdmhacoaching@gmail.com.
You can also indicate your interest during player registration in TeamSnap.
