Article VI:
Coaching
-
To be a head coach on
any level within the Club, one must have coached for a minimum of (1) year
within the Mt. Olive Jr. Lacrosse Club, have lacrosse playing experience for a
minimum of two (2) years on an organized and competitive team at the high
school level or above, and be a voting member in good standing with the Club.
-
In the event there are
no candidates who meet the above requirements, the position will then become
available for coaches with less tenure or playing experience to apply. Any
candidate that expresses interest in a vacancy cannot be denied an opportunity
to apply. Preference shall be given to those individuals with the most years
served to the Club, or the most game experience ( as determined by the board
), but will not be a guarantee to fill the vacancy.
-
All candidates must
submit their qualifications, in writing, to their respective program Vice
Presidents, in order to be considered for a head coaching vacancy. The
Secretary will forward all applications to the Board of Directors, who will
review the applications and interview the candidates as part of the selection
process. The Board of Directors will then determine, by a majority vote, the
selection of the head coach for the vacant position(s). The Board of
Directors has the authority to recommend the positioning of all coaches,
including assistant coaches, for the benefit of the Club and its participants.
-
No coach is guaranteed
to head coach a specific team. The Divisional Vice President will assign all
head coaches on an annual basis. If it is deemed by the Divisional Vice
President that a coaching applicant would be better suited on a level other
than what the candidate has previously coached or is currently applying for,
the candidate will be offered an opportunity to accept or reject the
recommendation set forth by the Vice Presidents.
-
Head coaches may select
their assistant coaches, subject to approval by the Board of Directors, and in
accordance to these By-Laws. All coaches must be members of US Lacrosse and
certified by either the National Youth Sports Coaches Association (NYSCA), the
Rutgers Certification Clinic, or possess an equivalent that is accepted by the
Township of Mt. Olive and must complete Township coaching applications before
they will be considered.
-
If the current head
coach resigns or cannot fulfill his or her duties, the replacement of that
head coach will be determined by the Board of Directors, on an interim basis.
The individual appointed will carry out the duties of the head coach for the
duration of the season. The position will then be considered vacant.
-
The head coach of each
team shall have the right to recommend the dismissal of an assistant coach,
from his or her team, subject to review and approval of the Board of
Directors. All matters pertaining to disciplinary action regarding coaching
will be forwarded to the Board of Directors by the Vice President of that
respective program.
-
The Vice Presidents of
each program have the right to recommend the dismissal of a head coach, based
on failure of that individual to conform to the philosophies established by
the Club, and agreed to by the Board of Directors. Failure to attend general
meetings and training clinics are among the reasons for recommending the
removal of a head coach. The Board of Directors must approve a head coaching
change, recommended by the program Vice President, with a majority vote.
