Coaching Staff

It’s very important to understand that JUEL/JUEL Prep/JUEL Academy isn’t just for the Players; we’re also helping develop strong Coaches. In fact, former JUEL/JUEL Prep Coaches are currently coaching at the next level. The League Office recognizes the importance of College and University Coaches and their role as mentors. In many cases Franchises will invite College and University Coaches to help with the tryout and selection process. JUEL believes in the importance of our Coaches, Players and their parents having direct access to the Canadian Coaches from the next level, but also recognizes there must be a clear divide and transparency.

• College and/or University Head Coaches cannot be on any JUEL/JUEL Prep/JUEL Academy Coaching Staffs.

• College and/or University Assistant Coaches are allowed on the Coaching Staff.

• If a Franchise has a JUEL, JUEL Prep and/or JUEL Academy team a Coach cannot be listed on 2 or 3 teams.

Parent Coaches

• JUEL recognizes that there are challenges in retaining qualified Coaches and in some cases the only option is to

  offer the position to a Parent Coach. As well, there are Parents who are qualified Coaches whose abilities will

  benefit all of the Players.

• With this in mind JUEL currently allows Parent Coaches, but strongly encourages all Franchises to make every

  effort to avoid it. History has shown that assigning a Parent Coach could create issues whether reality or perception.

Coaching Commitment

• Coaching in JUEL, JUEL Prep or JUEL Academy must be a priority for the Head Coach. This person cannot be a

  Head Coach on any other team during the current season (October 2024 – June 2025).

  • Exception – Head Coach during the NCAA April (Spring) viewing period.

Criminal Record Check

• Criminal Record Checks must be completed for all Coaches (Head & Assistant). Each Coach is responsible for

  their Criminal Record Check and payment.

Insurance Coverage during tryouts

All JUEL, JUEL Prep and JUEL Academy teams will have insurance coverage through CBA’s provider. Teams requiring certificates can request them through the CBA League Office (info@juel.ca). We ask that teams only submit certificate requests for facilities being used for tryouts/workouts. Once teams are finalized (October 15, 2024) additional facility requests can be submitted for the season.

Teams must submit their Tryout Schedule including dates, locations, time and related costs (if any) to the League office

All Franchise Administrator will have access to the following forms prior to the Early Signing Period (September 20):

• JUEL Athlete Agreement

• Talent Release Form

These forms must be completed, signed and submitted a minimum of 7 days prior to each Player playing their first game to be eligible for that game. It is each Franchise’s (JUEL/JUEL Prep/JUEL Academy) responsibility to provide the League Office with a date and times for Orientation to be scheduled between October 16th and November 25th. Orientation will take roughly 3 hours for each Franchise (JUEL and JUEL Prep).
