ACTING IN THE ROLE OF HEAD COACH:
Should a team’s Head Coach not be available, an Assistant Coach rostered to that team is eligible to act in the role of Head
Coach for that game only. If the Head Coach resigns or is removed from the position and subsequently removed from the
team’s Roster, the Association is responsible to Roster a new individual as Head Coach holding the qualifications appropriate
to the role.
HOUSE LEAGUE (HL):
• Assistant Coaches at House League require Respect in Sport (RiS)-Activity Leader or Speak Out! and Gender Identity and
Expression Course Only. However, they would require the appropriate qualification listed in chart above for participation
with teams from outside their House League (i.e. exhibition and/or tournament play)
• In addition, if the Head Coach were not available to start a House League game, an appropriately NCCP qualified
Coach would be required to act as the Head Coach.
** NOTE ** RIS (Respect In Sport) Activity Leader is a different online program than RIS Parent program
*** NOTE *** All positions require a Police Records Check
