Important Information and Reminders for Coaches

 

1.    The minimum age to attend a coaching clinic is 16.  However, there are programs for individuals who are younger than 16.  For information, please contact Todd Pepper (contact information is below).
2.    Todd is here to assist clubs in getting coaches certified.  He can help with any questions.
3.    Community Coach Development is the minimum certification required for any coach to be on the bench for Ontario Women's Field Lacrosse rep level play for Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 leagues. 
4.    All coaches of Under 19 and Senior teams must be Competitive Introduction 'Trained', other than first year coaches, who must have attended a 2012 Community Development Clinic.
5.    All U19 Summer Games Teams must have at least one Competitive Introduction 'Trained' coach on the bench. 
6.    Coaches that have attended Community Coach Development clinics in previous years but have not mailed in their workbooks to Roxanne Curtis for evaluation are not considered certified coaches until their workbooks are submitted and are found to be of good quality.
7.    Clubs are reminded that managers are not permitted to be on "the bench" during games.  Up to three certified coaches and one certified trainer are the only non-playing individuals permitted on "the bench" during games.
