I heard he has a waiting list of coaches asking to coach the camp!! Registration deadline is March 31st. Late fee will apply April 1st. Registration form can be filled out on the website – go to the soccer site! www.bvaa.ca – soccer
Soccer Coaches & Assistants are needed – Anyone who is interested in coaching a soccer team must complete the Volunteer form - go to the BVAA website to the Documents/Downloads http://www.bvaa.ca/documents.cfm?categoryid=1 and fill out the Volunteer Application form and drop off to 165 Napier St or mail to BVAA Box 213 Clarksburg N0H 1J0. These are needed immediately. Any coaches interested in taking their Level 1, 2 or 3 certificates are encouraged to contact Head Coach, Peter Hibbard. We will not be running courses this year, however, there are Towns close by who are offering these courses – we will send any interested coaches to another Club to take a course.
Soccer Referee – To all returning referees, Chris Cottle will be running the below sessions to help further your training. We are also looking for new referees – parents, teenagers – please contact Chris if you are interested in becoming a referee (all coaches are encouraged to take the course as this helps you with learning the game and rules).
