Coach Application
Coaches
Thank you for coaching in Ellis. Here's everything you need: practice scheduling, the head coach incentive and our party policy.
Practice scheduling
- Check field or gym availability on the Practice Availability calendar.
- If your time is open, submit a Practice Request.
- Requests are approved first come, first served.
- Your reservation isn't approved until you receive an email confirmation. It will also appear on the availability calendar.
Sunday & Wednesday practices
During the school year, Sunday practices may not start before 1:00 pm and Wednesday practices must end by 6:00 pm. When USD 388 cancels school for weather, all practices are cancelled.
Head coach incentive
Head coaches receive a credit for their dependent's registration fee on the team they coach. Jersey fees are not included.
To get your credit
- Register and pay the fee for the dependent you are coaching.
- When the season ends, return all equipment and keys to the Ellis Recreation office.
Once both steps are done, the credit is applied to your dependent's account.
End-of-season party
A party isn't required. If you host one, Ellis Rec will reimburse up to $25.00 of your expenses when you:
- Report the party to the Rec office before it happens.
- Take photos at the party and send them to the office.
- Turn in receipts showing your expenses.
