Coach's apply by filling out a application form and they select which team they are applying for. An interview is set up and you will appear before a panel of 5 volunteer people (Coaching Committee) plus our Prevention Services Rep. The interview is about 20-30 minutes. You will be notifed by the committee's chairperson whether you have or have not been chosen for the position. Usually the Rep Coaches are selected first as they handle the Pre Conditioning and try outs in August which is usually done in Tottenham. Thus the players usually get 1 conditioning skate plus 1,2 or 3 practices before the Head Coach does any roster selections (There is no invitation only for these Rep. teams as rumours have it). The Rep teams roster (how many) is predetermined by how many register so the BAA decides on how many players per team. Usually the Local League coaches aren't decided until a player has made or not made the Rep team as usually its a volunteer parent who takes a team. It makes it a bit hectic for the BAA but usually we find enough coaches each year. Any new coach or trainer has to go to a clinic. Any new coaching staff also has to take a Prevention Services (Speak Out) course or they can't be on the bench. Good luck!
