COACHES CORNER

    INTERESTED IN COACHING FOR BHC?    

 

If you have ANY interest in coaching in the BHC organization please contact the level director of the level at which you are interested in coaching and they can answer any questions you may have.  We ask that those interested in head or assistant coaching submit a short application here.  Each potential head coach will be interviewed to discuss options and opportunities.

SOME IMPORTANT POINTS:

  • Not ready to be a head coach or just want to help? Perfect, talk to the level director.

  • Aren't ready to commit to coaching until you know what team your child makes? That's perfectly okay. Talk to the level director ASAP, do not wait until after tryouts.

  • Not 100% sure you want to coach but considering it? The best way to learn more and discuss options is to talk to a level director.

  • Limited or no experience? It's okay. We will work with you to make sure you are ready, have fun, and learn a lot along the way.

  • We are aiming to make coaching in the BHC a fun and valuable learning experience for each coach.

We look forward to working with you to have a positive impact on our teams and players.
