What do we mean by "head coach"?
The head coach is expected to be the main point of contact between VASO and the team. They receive VASO communications and relay information to team members and families, organize the team rosters, assign team members to events, and are expected to be present on tournament days. 

Some schools may have a faculty sponsor of the team, but if they are not taking on the roles described above, we ask that the adult doing these tasks fill this form out instead. Teams must have an adult head coach approved by the school. If you do have an additional school/faculty sponsor, there is a place to note that in the form as well.

The registration paperwork (to be signed by the principal) acknowledges you as the coach of the school teams, whether you are an employee of not. However, if you are not a school employee, VASO highly recommends that you work closely with someone who is a school employee to help ensure compliance with school policies and support team administration, including organizing school paperwork necessary for travel to tournaments, procuring team supplies and meeting space, and assisting in team selection.

These coaches are not event-specific mentors, but assistant coaches supporting the full work of the head coach. They will have similar access to VASO resources as the head coach.
