  • If you are coaching a 5-10 year olds you should attend an Learn To Play (LTP) Orientation.
  • If you are coaching all Squirt categories, Pee Wee B & C, Bantam B & C or Midget C you should be taking our Community Sport On-going Participation.
  • Those coaching in categories leading to a Western or a Canadian Championship (Senior A & B, Junior A & B, Midget A & B, Bantam A, Pee Wee A) should take the Competition Introduction Clinic
