Selection process will follow:
Potential coaching applicants will be first reviewed by the coach development coordinator. Coaching coordinator will seek further information about the applicant (if required) from Division coordinators and/or Board members.

If all requested information is collected, and coach meets requirements to fit the role and there are not multiple coaches applying for the same coaching position, the coaching development coordinator (if needed) would work together with the coach to review past coaching feedback for the purpose of providing support to that coach on improving on their upcoming season. (Coach feedback is accepted and filtered through the division and coaching coordinators throughout the year. Anonymous feedback on our coaches will not be considered.) -Coach is accepted

If all requested information on the google form application is collected from section (A), and there are multiple coaches applying for the same coaching position, additional information from section (A) will be requested from the potential applicants.

To complete a fair and nonbiased evaluation, those applications along with information outlined in Section (A) will be reviewed and anonymously voted upon by the following individuals- Selection Committee comprised of 3 experienced board members chosen by the Coaching Coordinator who are not associated with the division in question (does not have a child in that division). Facilitated by the Coaching coordinator the selection committee will have the opportunity to review applications and request previous coaching feedback to aid in the process. The selection committee may reach out to each coach for an interview if more information is desired. The selection committee when ready would then vote on their choice for the Coaching position. This vote is done anonymously.
