Coach Selection

Interested in coaching with AA Ringette Calgary?

We aim to provide a high performance environment for ringette athletes to achieve their highest potential, with adherence to True Sport Principles. We can't do this without excellent leadership and technical expertise on the bench. 

Applications for Head Coach and Assistant Coach roles for the 2025-26 season are open and will be accepted from May 1st to 31st. The Coach Selection Committee will review applicants through June and we aim to announce the selected Head Coaches prior to July 1st. The selection process is described in AA Ringette Calgary Policy 9, Coach Selection. Please refer to our Policies and Bylaws to review this information.  

• 2025/26 Coaching Application Form

You will also need to submit the following documents to complete your application:

1. Additional coaching certifications not listed on your NCCP transcript, if applicable
2. Police Information Check with Vulnerable Sector Screening, current within the past 3 years, or proof of your application being in process
3. Screening Disclosure form  (if Police Information Check is over 1 year)
4. Coach Code of Conduct Pledge

You will receive confirmation of the submission. If you prefer to complete and submit your application using offline forms, please email president@aaringettecalgary.ca to request them.

After selections are announced, we will provide the selected Head Coaches with the list of coaching applicants received for that division for consideration as their named Assistant Coach, although they are not required to select an individual from that list. Named assistant coaches must submit all required information (application, required documentation) and be approved by the Board of Directors prior to the first tryout ice time for that division. All coaching positions must have the required certifications or complete them by December 15th of the playing season, or that individual will be removed from the roster.
