Visiting Coach Assistants
Guidelines for Visiting Coach Assistants
We allow BCU coaches to come and assist on programs. Each year we have more coaches requesting to come and help on programs. Following are the guidelines for this. This offer is to help coaches move up the BCU system. The value in doing this is to observe other coaches and the feedback you receive after the program.
