Grand Strand Youth Hockey is in need of enthusiastic volunteer coaches and referees for the upcoming season, to ensure that our kids aged 5-17 continue to have a fantastic hockey experience.
Referees must be at least 18 years of age, have a basic knowledge of the game of hockey. Past referee experience is a bonus, but is not required. All referees will be required to attend a short training session with our head of officiating .
Time commitment for referees will be 2-5 hours per week (up to 4 games per week) for 8 weeks, starting in Mid-January and running through Late March.
Gamedays are held on Saturdays between 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. Additional games may be held on Tuesday evenings or Thursday evenings, which are used as make-up slots for weeks when weather prevents play on Saturday.
Games are run in one-hour slots at 20-minute halves with a 10-minute warm up period and 5 minute halftime.
Referees will be paid $15-25 per game, depending on experience.
Anyone interested in officiating, should drop us a line or call our head of officiating, Allen Ryals at 843-450-7391.
Coaches must be at least 18 years of age, be able to pass a background check and have a genuine passion for the game of hockey and a desire to share it with young players.
Coaches should be willing to commit 2-3 hours per week including for practices on either Tuesday or Thursday evenings between 5-8 p.m. and for games on Saturdays occurring between 9 a.m. - 2 p.m. Coaches will also be asked to attend one mandatory coaches meeting before the session begins.
Our Spring season kicks off in early January and runs 8-10 weeks through late March.
Coaches are not paid, but can receive one free entry into the league ($125 value) for their child or family member, so volunteering is a great way to get your child involved in our league at no cost to you!
Anyone interested in officiating, should drop us a line here or call our league commissioner Chris Mowder at 765-661-1855.
