Once registration closes, Division Managers work alongside club staff to put balanced teams together. The number of teams made for each division relies on the number of coaches who volunteer, and the resources the club has to accommodate a particular number.
Division Managers are volunteers and are assigned for each division in VYSL. They act as the liaison between the club and the division in which they volunteer for. Division Managers will reach out to the division looking for volunteer coaches and those coaches will be sent Criminal Record Check (CRC) links from club staff.
Our club's Technical Team and Manager of Logistics will communicate with Division Managers and coaches with information regarding curriculum, VYSL coaches meeting, workshops, scheduling, equipment, and kit.
Once coaches and teams have been arranged, the coaches are provided their team lists from the Division Manager. Typically one to two weeks prior to the start of the season. The coach(es) will then email their team with an introduction and any relevant information.
