Coaches / Team Staff Registration and Training

March 17, 2023

Dear Titans Coaches and Managers,

Thank you for volunteering your time to Titans minor lacrosse.

Coaching and mentoring young people takes a lot of time and energy - it’s important to develop their skills, grow their love of the game and make sure they have fun at the same time.

You are critical to the success of the Titans program not only as leaders of our young athletes but as Titan’s bench staff you have an important administrative process that must be followed.

On that note, the Titans Board will be closely managing key critical steps that must be followed for us to be compliant with ALA requirements.  The ALA fines clubs if the registration process is not completed by a certain time frame. As well, coaches are not allowed on the bench during playoffs without their proper training.  Therefore, we ask that you follow the checklist and ensure that you meet the requirements outlined below:

RAMP Registration - Deadline April 15, 2023

• All bench staff (coaches, managers, trainers) must register on RAMP as staff. SPTLA will cover the cost of registering the following for each team: Head Coach, two Assistant Coaches, and a manager. The registration fees for bench staff over and above will be covered by the team or coach. Please note, all women's teams must have one registered woman on their bench staff as per ALA regulations.

*If your team is registering a trainer - ALA Regulation 25 applies.   Trainers must have the appropriate certification (example: any St. John Ambulance Emergency First Aid course of 8 hours, or appropriate designation - MD, RN, police, firefighter).  The ALA recognizes only one trainer.

• Please use your child’s login details to register in RAMP.

Criminal Record Check (CRC) - Deadline: April 15, 2023

• All bench staff (coaches, managers, trainers) must have a current CRC (valid for 2 years).

• Open this link for the letter to take to your local attachment to have the fee waived.

• CRCs must be uploaded with your RAMP staff registration.

• If you need to upload your CRC to your RAMP staff registration, please email: titanswebpage@gmail.com for support in doing this.

Appropriate Coach Training - Deadline: May 30, 2023

• All coaches please visit  the GELC website for details and the step-by-step process for this year’s coaching clinics. Alternatively you can contact their office at edmlax@telus.net  for further information on this  year’s coaching clinics.  Titans coaches will not be required to pay for their clinic - the Titans will be invoiced.  Should you not show up the Titans will be invoiced $ 25.00 for a no show fee which we will pass along.  
• All coaches must include their NCCP number to their Ramp staff registration. If you need help adding your NCCP number to your registration, please contact: titanswebpage@gmail.com 
• If you are a new coach, registering with Lacrosse Canada for the first time, please go ahead and pay the $15 registration fee. Keep receipt of your payment the SP Titans will refund you for this cost 

Please reach out to your appropriate Division Director with any questions or concerns. Please note, you will be contacted if you are missing information.
