The number of coaches and referees that come forward to assist will determine the size the league will be able to expand. QCMBL is committed to providing these volunteers with the necessary training courses. These are lacrosse specific clinics that will help coaches become knowledgeable and confident to coach even though you may not have any playing experience. QCMBL will provide funding for coaches to become certified. Enclosed is a Coach's Application Form to be mailed in or returned with the pre-registration form if you are interested in coaching this year.
Lacrosse is one of the first sports in Canada to proceed with a changeover in the coaching program. The NCCP program previously used for all sports will be replaced with the new Competency Based Education & Training (CBET) coaching program. However, if you have been fully certified (Technical + Practical + Theory) in the NCCP course and meet the requirements for the specific age division, then you have a 5-year grace period before you will be required to become certified in the CBET program. These minimum standards will be enforced at out-of-province and all Provincial tournaments.
Under the new system, every division of play now has a specific level of training and evaluation that needs to be met. They are as follows:
- The "Community Coach-Development" replaces Level 1 Technical and is for head coaches in the PeeWee and below age division and assistant coaches in any age divisions. (Location/Dates TBD)
- The "Competitive Coach-Introduction" replaces the old level 2.
It is for head coaches operating in the Bantam and higher age divisions. (Location/Dates
TBD)
