COACHES

We also allow for assistant coach wristband(s) for academies with a qualifying

number of registered athletes.

To accommodate assistant coaches we are going to provide wristbands based on the number

of registered athletes for a given event. The breakdown is as follows:

0 to 4 registered athletes – One Coach + 0 assistant coach wristbands

5 to 10 registered athletes – One Coach + 1 assistant coach wristband

11 to 20 registered athletes – One Coach + 2 assistant coach wristbands

Over 20 registered athletes – One Coach + 3 assistant coach wristbands
