NOTES:
*By January 8 of 2012, all U10 to U19 teams must have a qualified female coach/assistant coach on their bench staff at all times.
The Coaching Committee recommends a three-year implantation plan to include:
All U10 to U19 “C” and U7 teams for the 2009-2010 season
All U10 to U19 “B” teams for the 2010-2011 season
And all U10 to U19 “A” teams for the 2011-2012 season
*By January 8 of 2013, all U10 to U19 teams must have a bench staff member who is certified in First Aid.
Non-qualified bench staff shall not be allowed to participate in O.R.A. Sanctioned Events
after JANUARY 8th. Should a member of your association bench staff violate this rule, it
shall result in team disqualification and/or fines levied. There shall be no exceptions and
or appeals to this rule.
Bench Staff may train a person sixteen (16) or seventeen (17) years of age, as of DECEMBER 31st of the playing year with no official duties, (to be called an Assistant Coach in Training). These people can be on the bench during sanctioned events if they are Community Sport - Initiation Trained or CI Trained (depending on the team level of play) and the Bench Staff does not exceed the maximum number of five (5) persons on the bench.
Sanctioned Events: O.R.A. defines Sanctioned Events as:
Invitational Tournaments
Regional Championships
Regional Preliminary Championships/Qualifiers
Provincial Championships/Qualifiers
For O.R.A. disciplinary purposes, any game between two (2) Registered O.R.A. teams or between any other Province’s teams with an O.R.A. registered team.
Registration
When registering with ORA, choose the primary position (that you are qualified for). You can register your other (qualified) position with your association as an independent (or on your second team if you are on the bench staff for more than one team). Teams are encouraged to register a maximum of five bench staff: use an ICF to substitute bench staff.
