NEW FOR 2011-2012:  EACH MEMBER OF THE COACHING STAFF WILL BE REQUIRED TO WEAR IDENTIFYING CREDENTIALS.

Coaches must be twenty-one (21) years of age or older, unless otherwise approved by the League Office. If the approved coach is less than twenty-one (21) years of age, an adult at least twenty-one (21) years of age must be at the games and practices, and must sit with the coach on the bench. Each coach, assistant coach and/or parent assisting in running practices or games must possess a current AAU coach’s card. A team may only have three (3) coaches (the registered head coach and 2 registered assistants) on the bench during League and tournament games. The team coach is responsible for notifying the league office of changes in coaches, team contacts, mailing addresses, or any other changes that pertain to the team.

Teams that participate in the Spokane AAU League are separate from the organization. The coaches, players, and parents representing each team are responsible for their own monies, practice times, player playing time, designated responsibilities and team policies for that individual team. Spokane AAU provides teams with the service of League play and will not be responsible for the individual team organization or finances.
