Competition Introduction Coach Evaluations

It is up to each coach to schedule their own evaluation. Simply contact an evaluator (listed below), share your practice schedule, and schedule a date for them to come evaluate. If you have multiple coaches in your organization/on your team needing an evaluation, we suggest considering scheduling them all on the same day, that way you can ensure your organization is completed.

Please book your evaluations ASAP to account for rainout days, Evaluator availability, and time for your certification to be processed if you need it completed by Provincials.

Finally, bring your Coach Portfolio to your evaluation with the required pages completed (instructions are in the Coach Portfolio). You would have received this at the in-person portion of the Comp Intro Clinic (also known as Weekend #2).
