Coaches

New and returning coaches must submit the FLA Coaching Application Form. Once the application is received, it will be reviewed and coaches will be added to teams.

Once you have been added to a team, you must register in Ramp Registration as a Coach. This registration must be completed before you will be able to attend any floor sessions.

Print the Foothills Lacrosse Association Volunteer Letter to take to the local RCMP detachment, to request your Vulnerable Sector and/or Criminal Record Check.

This can sometimes take longer than expected, so it is best not to leave it to the last minute. Once you have received your vulnerable sector/criminal record check, email it to coach@foothillslacrosse.com

Vulnerable Sector / Criminal Record Checks are valid for three years, so if you have submitted one previously you may not need to re-submit this year. Check with coach@foothillslacrosse.com to confirm if it is on file with FLA.

The coaching certification courses you require depend on the team you will be coaching and if this is your first year coaching. 

• Most coaching certification courses are provided through the Coaching Association of Canada. You can register for these certification courses, or check your current certifications, through The Locker on coach.ca. 
• You can also review your coach transcript to see previously completed certifications.
• Respect in Sport - Activity Leader registration can be found on the Respect in Sport website. 
• Information about the RMLL Super Clinic is on the RMLL website. 

Certification Registration Fees

Certification courses are provided at no cost to coaches. Most are free at the time of registration, others may require reimbursement through Foothills Lacrosse Association. To request reimbursement for a certification course, email treasurer@foothillslacrosse.com with the name of the course, the date it was completed, and a copy of the receipt. 

Important: when registering for the RMLL Super Clinic, do not submit payment during registration. This payment must be completed outside of the registration system. If you are interested in taking this clinic, contact president@foothillslacrosse.com.
