Interested in Coaching?                                                                           

Anyone interested in head coaching or assistant coaching in the QCMBL must apply by completing and submitting a Coaching Profile [PDF format] .  The QCMBL Executive reviews all applications   
and makes selections based on previous experience, necessary coaching levels and coaching philosophy. 

All coaches, assistant coaches and other bench personnel must first complete an RPS criminal record check, which must be undertaken annually.
