Coach Selection Process
All interested coaching candidates must apply by September 30 each season to be considered. Interested coaching candidates can apply by contacting the board with a letter of interest, coaching resume and references. Coaching applications are reviewed by the MTB Board of Directors. Coaching positions will be reviewed on an annual basis. Only approved candidates will be considered for coaching positions. The Board will select head coaches. Head coaches will select 1-2 assistant coaches and ensure they are CORI’d and complete the required concussion training.
All 15 teams will have 1 Head Coach and 1-2 Assistant Coaches for a total of a max of 3 coaches per team. Additional coaches may not be added during the season.
Coaches will be chosen and formalized after roster selection. Child placement on any team will not be determined based on coaching availability and parent involvement.
