Becoming a Rambler Coach

Ramblers is always in need of volunteer coaches for both our house league and competitive programs. Much of our success is because of the dedicated parents, students and family members who volunteer their time coaching our athletes. If you are interested in becoming a Ramblers house league or competitive coach please fill out the coaching application form below.

High School Student Volunteer Hours: Our house league program is an excellent place for students to get some of their volunteer hours in for school. Whether it be in coaching, scoring and timing or refereeing! We will sign off on the hours for the volunteer.

Police Check – Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC):

Because we hold the safety of all children in the highest regard, all Ramblers coaches and volunteers must complete a Police Check, specifically a Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) before participating in their first scheduled game or practice. There are a few different options on how to get this done and at a reduced volunteer cost. Please click on the link below to get details on how to get your police check done.
