Coaching Registration
OCYF has changed their policy on coaching for 2011. We are not limiting the number of coaches each team has, only the number of volunteer hours we can give to each team. All teams will have one head coach who will be responsible to choose up to three assistants. The head coach and his/her three named assistants are not required to do any additional volunteer hours. However, any coaches over this limit are required to fulfill their volunteer obligations in a non-coaching volunteer position, as noted in the rules.
- Head Coach selection is May 15th - if you are interested in being a head coach you must apply on the ocyf website PRIOR to May 15th.
- Head coach & One Assistant from each team will need to be First Aid Certified - contact Mimi at mnmhakes@sbcglobal.net for details.
