Coaching Requirements
All coaches must register in Ramp
Criminal Record: SPMSA requires that all coaches get a criminal record check. Criminal records can be sent to the Division Rep or General Manager. You can scan it and send it via email or take a picture of it and text the division rep or hand in a hard copy.
Softball Alberta and GEMSA do NOT require a Criminal Record Check.
Respect in Sport: All SPMSA coaches have to have "Respect in Sport - Activity Leader". After the course is complete please upload it into Ramp. At this time we have a lot of teams that don't have assistant coaches, as long as the Head Coach has it and uploaded it to Ramp.
