Coaches

Cochrane Softball welcomes your interest in coaching.  To be a coach you will need to:

1. Fill out an application.  Log into the RAMP system (https://www.rampregistrations.com/login?v3=da6ba2fff7).  On the menu to the left you will see a tab called Registration.  Follow the prompts to add yourself as a coach.
2. Have a current RCMP check (within the last three years).  If you need an update, please request a letter from CMB admin - admin@cochraneminorball.ca
3. Attend a one time Calgary Minor Softball Association orientation session OR have a complete Level I or Community Softball NCCP certification.
4. Certification in Respect in Sport Activity Leader/Coach/Officials (can be transferred from other sports, you must complete this step, CMB doesn't have access to do that).  See http://www.cochraneminorball.ca/content/respect-in-sport
