Coaches

Ball Hockey - All it takes is all you've got!

Are you interested in volunteering to be a HEAD COACH or an ASSISTANT COACH?

We are limited in the number of players and teams in each of our divisions primarily by the availability of coaching staff.

If you are interested in applying to be a coach or an assistant coach please proceed to our registration system by clicking HERE (coaching registration for the 2018 season is CLOSED) and submit your application using the Coach/Staff Registration menu on the left hand side.  If you do not have a RAMP account, this is the same account and system used to register players to play in our season, you will need to set one up first.

For more information for coaches click HERE.

All Head Coaches must have a Respect in Sport certificate before the draft. 
If you do not have a certificate yet, please follow the information below to obtain a certificate.

Please read and review our Fair Play Code for Coaches HERE and our Fair Play Code for Players HERE prior to the draft.

Respect in Sport

It is required that ALL HEAD COACHES in our league MUST complete the Respect in Sport program.

SMBHA will pay for any Head Coach needing to complete this course via a partnership program with RIS.

Please email the Technical Director once you have applied to be a HEAD COACH to obtain the code and information needed to complete the program.

If a Head Coach/Assistant has taken this program through Minor Ice Hockey or another sport, they do not need to take this again.  If you have completed this course, please advise us immediately with a forwarded copy of your certificate #.

Click here to register and take the course online.

Once in the program, select Help if technical assistance is required.

Also please keep in mind that Criminal Record Checks will need to be completed before taking part in any coaching activities. If you have completed a Criminal Record Check, remember you will need to complete one every two years.  To obtain a Criminal Record Check, please follow the instructions below.

If you have any other questions please contact our Technical Director at coach@smbha.org.
