COACHES CORNER

Coaching a SGAA Sports Team

The St. Gabriel Athletic Association relies on the dedication of volunteer coaches to make our programs possible. Your time, energy, and commitment directly shape the experiences of our athletes—and we are grateful for the difference you make.

The Role of a Coach

Coaching a SGAA team is both a privilege and a responsibility. Our goal is to provide an environment where players learn not only the skills of the game, but also the values of sportsmanship. As a coach, you help players develop a positive attitude toward themselves, their teammates, referees, and fellow coaches. You are a role model for both athletes and parents, and your example sets the tone for the entire team.

Requirements for Coaching

To protect the safety and well-being of our players, all SGAA coaches must complete required training and background checks. These steps also ensure you understand your role and responsibilities as a volunteer coach. For CYC coach requirements and trainings, visit: CYC Coach Requirements.
