NEW! Step One: Complete the Coach Application Form
All individuals wishing to coach are required to complete the coach application form. This is to determine experience and to assess if your coaching philosophy is in line with Camrose Soccer and our Grassroots status. Previous experience is appreciated but not necessary. A submitted application does not guarantee placement on a team.
Step Two: Register in RAMP
All approved Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Bench Parents, and Managers must be registered in RAMP.
Registration Link - Complete the "Coach/Staff" Registration. Please select the more appropriate division available in the list provided. You will be assigned to the proper team/division by our coordinators.
DO NOT use the background check feature provided by RAMP - this is a more costly feature and does not give us all the information we need. At this time, we are unable to remove the option from the application process.
