Become a Coach: Shape the Future of the Game

Camrose Soccer invites you to make a lasting impact on our community's youth.

As a volunteer coach, you are integral to the success of our teams. We rely on your dedication to provide a rewarding experience for every player. We welcome coaches of all experience levels—from seasoned professionals to those eager to learn the ropes.

Join us in mentoring the next generation of players, teaching valuable life skills, and growing the game of soccer in Camrose.

 

How to Become a Coach:

Please read through the requirements in their entirety and direct any questions to Jenn at secretary@camrosesoccer.com 

 

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. 

Coach Application

 

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.
