1. The Competitive Coaching Selection Committee (“CCSC”) will screen, conduct interviews,
rate and make recommendations to the Board for all head and assistant coaches in the
competitive program.

2. A Competitive Coaching Applicant Rating Form will be used to rate all coaching
applications. Input to the rating includes: license held, experience, returning coach,

disciplinary actions, personal playing experience, refereeing, previous season’s
player/coach/trainer feedback and prior season’s adherence to Club’s rules, regulations
and policies. The relative importance of these categories will be determined by the Club
and made available at the time of application.

3. Head coach applicants must apply on time, with a complete application, and meet the
following minimum qualifications:
(a)  Division 1 & Division 3 coaching applicants must have at a minimum an F coaching

(b)  A coach not meeting the September 15th E license requirement will not be allowed to
coach in this Club the following year.
(c)  Division 1 & Division 3 coaching applicants must also be a currently licensed referee.
(d)  The Division 1 & Division 3 coaching applicant must have the following experience: be
a head coach for one year or an registered assistant coach for two years on a Division

least 18 years of age.

4. A Division 1 or Division 3 head coach must make a reasonable long-term commitment to
continue with a team.

5. Division 1 and Division 3 coaches (head and assistant) must be volunteers
(uncompensated).

6. A Division 1 or Division 3 head coach may be a head coach of only one Division 1 or
Division 3 team but may be the registered assistant coach on other teams.

7. Registered assistant coach applicants must meet the following minimum qualifications:
(a) Must have an F license.
(b) Must be a currently licensed referee.
(c) A competitive registered assistant coach may coach other teams.

8. Assistant coach applications will not be accepted until after Division 1 and Division 3 team
rosters have been selected and formed.

10. Challenges to the coach selection process can only be made on the grounds that the
committee misapplied the rules, regulations and/or By Laws of the CVSC.
