Are there any coaching requirements for coaching with EHSC?
Coaching requirements vary by division. Please see below:
- Rec League: At this time, there are no coaching requirements to become a Rec League coach. However, it is recommended that all coaches have a basic understanding of the game. If you plan to continue on as a coach with the Club, you may want to consider the free introductory course and then progress to the 4v4 (online) and 7v7 (online), which the Club will reimburse you for.
- U9 – U11 Travel: Coaches are required to obtain the F License or G License, which is an online course that should take about 2 hours to complete. The Club will reimburse coaches for the cost of the course, upon receipt of course completion documentation.
- U12+ Travel: Coaches are required to obtain the E License, which is an 18-hour course, typically held over one weekend. Additionally, all coaches will be required to attend a refresher training course every other year after having completed the E license. The Club will reimburse coaches for the cost of the course and refresher courses, upon receipt of course completion documentation.
