Step 3
Complete the online coach registration below.
2025 Outdoor Coach Registration Website: Click HERE to register.
Coaches are asked to note that the first team list in the online schedule is the home team. The second team listed is the away team.
The home team is responsible for supplying the referee with a ball. The ball must be the correct size for the age group and blown up to the correct pressure for that type of ball.
Also, if the referee determines that the field is not playable it is the responsibility of the home team to make the necessary changes to make the field playable, not the referee. For example, if the referee identifies debris on the field such as rocks and/or glass he will tell the home team and it is the responsibility of the home team to clean the field up prior to the start of play.
Step 4
Complete the Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders program.
Once you have registered as a coach through the link above, you will receive an email with instructions and a prepaid code to complete the Respect in Sport for Activity Leaders program.
