Procedures & Guidelines

To avoid any possible conflict of interest situations, members of this committee are not to be involved in the Coach Selection of any division to which they and/or his or her spouse have applied.  The prospective coach has the right to decline and reschedule an interview if they believe there is a conflict of interest.

The committee will follow Baseball Canada or Baseball Alberta coach selection interview guidelines and utilize a S.W.O.T. Analysis to document applicant responses.

Every effort will be made to have the coach interview process completed prior to the tryout of the level being applied for.  Coaching positions can be filled depending on the placement of players and or qualifications of candidates.  Applicants must include a coaching resume indicating coaching philosophy, team goals, objectives and a draft seasonal plan.

The committee will review previous documentation on any potential coaches including but not limited to parent evaluation forms, awards given, previous discipline situations and Executive recommendations.  This data will be compiled and available to the committee by the Executive Director prior to the interviews.

The Head Coach (if a parent) can be selected (after the interview process is completed) out of the top 12 players or Executive discretion is warranted based on history.
