We have opened up the registration for new coaches. If you are interested in being a head coach next season, please complete the application. The application can be found in the link above. The deadline for applications is 6/9. 


Below is additional information on being a coach:

HEAD COACH 

To be a head coach, you must complete the following:

  1. Register with USA Hockey.
  2. Complete a Background Check.
  3. Complete SafeSport Training (Annually, no cost). This is an online course discussing safety, concussion, etc.
  4. Complete Age-Specific Module. You are only required to take the class for the level you’re coaching at and this just needs to be completed once per level. This class teaches expectations regarding player development and skills at each level.
  5. Take a USA Hockey Clinic. These may be virtual or in person clinic depending on location. Typically, these are good for 2 years and classes are 1-2 days depending on level. This is USA Hockey main coaching education program (CEP) & covers a wide range of topics. First time coaches start at CEP Level 1 and may move up to Level 5 during your coaching career. 
  6. Register with Winthrop Youth Hockey. This is a requirement from Winthrop Youth Hockey so we can have an accurate list of volunteers as Head Coach, Assistant Coach and even Team Managers.


NOTE – Steps 1 -4 are REQUIRED before hockey season starts!


Step 5 can be completed in the fall but must be completed before the end of December. Most classes are in September – October. Do not delay as classes are limited and fill up quickly. If this is not completed by December, you will not be able to coach for the 2nd half of the season starting on Jan 1st.
