Coaching requirements

If you are selected to coach in VMHA, you will also be required to have completed the required Hockey Canada/National Coaching Certification Program (NCCP) course(s) applicable to the age group you are applying for in order to be eligible to coach in VMHA (as outlined in our Policies & Procedures, which comply with Hockey Canada & Hockey Alberta).

Please note that if you have not completed Coach 1, Coach 2 and/or Checking Skills in prior years, there are online courses that must be taken prior to attending the in-person course. The online Coach 1 (U7/U9) & Coach 2 (U11 - U18) are now Player Pathway courses. 

Hockey Alberta coaching requirements can be found below and here: https://www.hockeyalberta.ca/coaches/clinic-information/

November 15th is the deadline to which you MUST have all required courses completed. Our association does not have plans to host any coaching courses, so travel to outside communities will be required in order to attend any in-person courses (Coach 1, Coach 2, Checking).

Upcoming coaching courses can be found here: https://page.spordle.com/ha/clinics.

It is recommended you register for a course as early as possible, as these courses do fill up.

Notes:

  • Respect in Sport - Activity leader expires every 4 years and needs to be taken again upon expiry, if you are applying to be a head or assistant coach (all team officials are required to have it). Login/registration found here: https://ha.respectgroupinc.com/koala_final/
  • Safety course expires every 3 years and is required by one team official, though is recommended for all coaching staff


Course reimbursements
Individuals selected for Head and Assistant coaching positions for the season are eligible for reimbursement for the cost of the training requirements, in the year the courses are completed. Once you have completed your course, your invoice(s) can be submitted to the VMHA Treasurer for reimbursement. The Treasurer will confirm with the VMHA Registrar that the course has been completed prior to issuing the reimbursement.
