Selection Process
- head coach for each post season team will be selected by Executive Committee vote
- any Executive Committee members who are applying to coach a team, may not participate in the voting process for that team
- the Executive Committee may solicit feedback from other coaches in your current division
- the selected head coach will be responsible for choosing their own assistant coaches subject to Executive Committee approval
- all players must earn their place on the team via tryout – players are not guaranteed placement on a team due to their parent coaching
