Volunteer Coaches are the cornerstone of our league. We truly could not do it without you!
Each team requires 2-3 coaching staff for a season to run smoothly, which may include the following:
- Coach (1-2, required)
- Assistant Coach (Optional, unless there is only one coach)
- Parent Helper (Optional, except for 4U teams)
*Parent helpers step in when the coach/assistant coach need support, or if they cannot make it to a game.
In-person coach training is provided prior to each season--this is optional for experienced coaches. See our most recent training presentations at right.
Please review the Rules for your age division prior to the season.
Coaches are responsible for equipment pick up and return.
All coaching staff require a clear Criminal Record Check for the Vulnerable Sector, which can be obtained at our local RCMP detachment. Screening must be repeated every three (3) years for as long as you are a volunteer with Balgonie Soccer.
