How do I get involved in coaching?

Prior to tryouts/evaluations, BAHHA begins to put their coaching staff together. If you are not currently certified, information will be available regarding classes for certifying. An application can be found at the Coaching Forms link under Coaches. For additional questions, contact the Coach in Chief, any Board Member or any Coach.

How do you choose your coaches?

Most of the BAHHA coaches are parents who volunteer countless hours to their team to benefit our kids. BAHHA reviews the performance of our coaches annually, and weighs the input of our parent-members in that evaluation. The Board of Directors, through the Coach In Chief, reviews and approves of all coach appointments.
