Trainers

Trainers are vital members of the team, who act as the team’s primary medical contact on the bench during practices and games. Their focus is to ensure the safety, health, and physical readiness of our Spurs athletes. 

Trainer Requirements

Certification

Trainers must have the appropriate certification. Appropriate certification is defined as one of the following:

• Any St. John Ambulance Emergency First Aid course of 8 hours (or more) or equivalent
• Canadian Red Cross Standard First Aid & First Responder
• Canadian Red Cross Sport First Responder and Sport Aid course
• Hockey Canada Safety Program (HCSP) LEVEL 2
• An appropriate designation (examples: MD, RN, Physiotherapist, Police Officer, Firefighter, Chiropractor, Registered Massage Therapist).

Note: CPR alone is not considered an equivalency.

Other Requirements

Trainers must:

• Register as Staff in Ramp Registration.  
  
  
• Provide a current Criminal Record and Vulnerable Sector Check (within the last 3 seasons). 
  • If you require a new or updated Vulnerable Sector and/or Criminal Record Check, print the Foothills Lacrosse Association Volunteer Letter to take to the local RCMP detachment.
    
    
• Complete Respect in Sport (RIS) for Parents (within the last 4 seasons)
