FAQs -
Q: Do current Jr. Coaches need to participate in this program to continue Jr. Coaching:
A: ONLY if they have not completed their 16 hours of on-mat practicals. We will have a free re-cert meeting for returning Jr. Coaches - Date TBD.
Q: I’m not 9 yet, but I really want to Jr. Coach - will you make an exception
A: If students turn 9 on or before October 1, they are eligible to apply. We encourage students who do not meet this requirement to apply for the next cohort.
Q: I don’t intend to Jr. Coach, but I’m interested in the learning and leadership development component, may I still apply?
A: Yes! While priority will be given to applicants who intend to complete their on-mat practicals, we may accept students who aren’t interested in coaching.
Q: Do I have to coach K1 before I can coach K2 or K3?
A: Successful completion of the Jr. Coaches Clinic opens access to Jr. Coach in K1. Opportunities to Jr. Coach in K2 and K3 classes will be opened on an individual invite-only basis.
Q: I can only attend one of the sessions can I still apply?
A: Depending on the number of students who are unable to attend the session dates, we may open a make-up session. There will likely be an additional cost to take a make-up session, so consider the dates carefully. Students may attend only one of the Jr. Coaching clinic dates, but they may not move on to practicals until they have completed the entire 2-session clinic.
