Adult Coaches

Coaching Qualifications (for IM or Travel)

In order to maintain a high level of coaching, we have developed the following requirements for being a head coach (HC) or assistant coach (AC) of an NGS team. Coaching a team includes teaching game skills, sportsmanship, team play, and other aspects of the game, as well as providing a high level of organization to the team both on and off the field. All parent coaches are requested to obtain at least a G level coaching license. The G level license, or comparable coaching experience is mandatory for the head coach of teams 2nd grade and beyond. Additionally, safety is a primary concern, and all coaches must be screened and file a CORI form.

Parent coaches are assigned to their daughter’s team. When several parents volunteer to coach the same team, the head coach will be chosen based on proven coaching experience, coaching education level and commitment to youth sports. Note that because we are an all-girls league, preference is always given to female coaches when their qualifications are otherwise identical to those of a male volunteer.

Eligibility and Order of Preference for all NGS Coaches:

1. Parent, guardian, or grandparent of a player
2. Female community members (e.g., college players, former players, etc.)
3. High School girls coaching a team without any sibling on it (exceptions can be made, on a case by case basis, with more than 5 year age gap between player and high school sibling)

MYSA Coaches Code of Conduct

All coaches are expected to abide by the MYSA Coaches Code of Conduct (PDF). NGS reserves the right to discipline, suspend or remove any coach for failure to follow the Code.
