Coaching with SRA

How do you become an SRA coach?

  • Submit your name as a prospective coach when you register your child.
    •  If you missed this step, please email your League Commissioner directly and put your name in the hat!
  • Wait to hear back from the Commissioner, VP or other SRA team member to find out whether your time is needed.
  • Pass a Background Check.
    • If your time is needed, you will need to pass a background check. This is a requirement of all Coaches, Commissioners and SRA Board Members. (see our Background Check page for detailed information about how this process works) Click here to head to our Background Check page which has our current form that is required to be completed and returned.
    • We will notify you if there are concerns or if additional information is needed.
  • Sign the Coaches Code of Conduct Form.pdf and email it to the commissioner of your league.

What happens when you get through the paperwork?

  • We will set you up as a Head Coach in the TeamSnap software system.
  • Make sure you know upcoming dates on any evaluations and important dates for your League.
  • Attend Evaluations. (Except for 6U Baseball and Softball divisions as they do not hold evaluations at that age.)
  • Upfront, this initial time may take a bit, but once you are through it – its all practices and games from there!
  • Available practice days are set by league administrators.  During drafts, coaches will select from the days and times available for their league.
  • Once we set you up in the correct League, we will send you a TeamSnap invitation to accept. You will need to accept the invitation.
  • Once your players have been moved to your team you will be able to communicate with your team, review schedules and more…
  • There are rules about what you can and can’t do in TeamSnap, but we’ll get to those later.
  • Communicate with your team on your expectations as a coach. (Using TeamSnap messaging system is the way to go!)
  • Make sure to thank your sponsor – they keep this Organization going. 
  • Enjoy your time coaching!
  • And by all means…Ask questions if you are unsure! See our Contact Us page is you are unsure of who to contact.
