NLBA Coaches (and Assistant Coaches) are volunteers recruited and organized by the Division Coordinators. Reference Materials and Coaching Clinics are offered throughout the season to assist coaches in running weekly practices and games, in support of The League’s overall goals of long term athlete development and fair play.
Division Coordinators are the main source of communication between Coaches and The League. The NLBA Head Coach advises and oversees the training of coaches.
Coaches are required to provide an official game roster on the Score Sheet prior to each game and are also required to submit final game scores to their Division Coordinator following each game.
Every Coach and Assistant Coach must provide a valid Criminal Record Check (CRC) certificate obtained through a local RCMP office (or online) prior to the start of league play typically late September. Completed CRC certificates must be returned to and will be held by the Head Coach. The Head Coach will maintain the CRC certificates on file for at least the current season (but they may be held longer). A CRC certificate may be utilized for multiple seasons as long as it remains valid and is less than 3 years old at the start of the season.
