TEAM OFFICIALS AND REQUIREMENTS

There are four positions on the team that are considered Team Officials which are the Coach, any Assistant Coaches, the Manager and the HCSP (Hockey Canada Safety Person). The following table outlines the courses that these Team Officials must complete and by what deadline.

There are penalties and or fines assessed if teams do not have team officials that have the required qualifications in place by the deadline . For teams that have divisional playoffs, they may be disqualified. It is very important to get this done sooner than later.

Respect in Sport is a program that replaced SpeakOut during the 2009-2010 season. If you have already complete SpeakOut, you are not required to take RIS. This course is for coaches and sport leaders, designed to assist in identifying and dealing with abuse, neglect, harassment and bullying in sport. The on-line curriculum is broken into six, 30 minute modules and includes audio/visual presentations, quizzes and printable handouts.? It can be taken module by module so you don't need to complete the whole course at once. To access the course go to www.bchockey.net and click on Clinics. You will find further instructions as well as FAQ's on the website. The cost of this course is reimbursable for team officials...see below re reimbursement.

Coaching qualifications are split into 2 categories. The "community" stream and the "performance" stream. The community stream is for coaches working with 'C' or House teams (including Initiation and all Atom teams). The performance stream is for coaches working with Rep teams in Pee Wee division and higher.

There are 2 different courses to take depending on which team level you are going to coach. They DO NOT crossover into each other's requirements.

In order to be qualified to coach (or assistant coach) a C team (any initiation team, any Atom team, and any House team above Atom) you must be "Coach-Hybrid" qualified (or equivalent).

In order to be qualified to coach (or assistant coach) a Rep team (in all divisions higher than Atom) you must be "Coach-Developmental 1" qualified (or equivalent).

If you are unsure of your qualifications, contact the Coach Co-ordinator for clarification.

To register for the clinics (Coaching, HCSP), go to www.bchockey.net and click on "Clinics". Note that the HCSP clinic is required and can NOT be substituted with First Aid or Medical Professional qualifications. All team officials will want to register as soon as possible as these courses fill up quickly. The cost of these courses is reimbursable for rostered team officials. For reimbursement, please e-mail your receipt along with your name, team info and mailing address to the CMHA Treasurer.

To complete your Criminal Record Check, complete the 3 record check forms found on the Risk Management page and bring them into the RCMP's Main Detachment in Surrey at 14355 57^th Avenue. There is no cost associated with this as long as you have the CMHA letter provided. You will also need to bring government issued photo identification. They will do the record check while you are there and give it to you to bring back to the association.
