Coach and Trainer Certification
Current VSS required - Contact your member club directly
Trainers must have the appropriate certification. Appropriate certification is defined as one of the following:
i. Any St. John Ambulance Emergency First Aid course of 8 hours (or more)
ii. Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid & Basic Rescuer CPR course
iii. Canadian Red Cross Sport First Aid course
iv. Any CAHA Hockey Trainer’s Certification Program
v. A professional designation (examples: MD; RN; Physiotherapist, Policeman; Fireman; Chiropractor; Registered Massage Therapist).
From the above, please be clear CPR (as a stand-alone certification) is NOT an equivalency.
Lacrosse Canada recognizes only one trainer per team to address those specific activities (activities which would not include coaching athletes).
A photocopy of a trainer certification card (provided by the above groups) should be attached to the Member’s Bench Personnel form. This should be loaded to the STAFF RAMP registration.
d) Coaches and Trainers must be able to provide proof of certification if requested.
e) Non-Canadian Coaches and Trainers must meet the certification requirements or acceptable equivalency from programs in their home country or country of residence.
f) All bench personnel (coaches/trainers) are required to sign the game sheet prior to the game. Coaches will also be required to indicate their coaching number. Trainers will be required to list their certifications.
