NEW Coaching Policies

Effective November 1, 2007, The Tewksbury Athletic Association (TAA) has implemented 2 new policies to enhance the quality of our coaching program.

Coach Rosters

All Program Directors will now be responsible for submitting a list of their Head and Assistant Coaches to Rob Edmund (rsedmund@aol.com), TAA Coaches Coordinator, prior to the start of each season. Coaching staffs will be reviewed for Rutgers Certification and prior evaluation results. If a coach is not in our Rutgers Certified database, the Program Director will need to get a copy of the coach’s Rutgers Card and forward to Rob Edmund for verification and inclusion in our database.


Background Checks

Beginning with the winter 2008 sports season, the TAA will implement a finger printing and background check program for all Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches and Trainers who coach in our Rec and Traveling Programs. There will be no exceptions!

Program Directors should contact Bob Edmund (rsedmund@aol.com) to coordinate the necessary information and schedule a time with the Tewksbury Police Department for their coaching staff.

There will be no cost to the coaches for the training course or background checks. Coaches who do not complete the Rutgers Certification course and submit to the background check will not be permitted to coach for any TAA team.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Mark Wood, TAA President
Rob Edmund, Coaches Coordinator

Please take the time and complete our Coach Evaluation Survey. The TAA views
coaching as a critical foundation to our programs and is committed to
ensuring our coaches are properly trained, and provide your children with
quality coaching in not only sport techniques but also in team spirit and
good sportsmanship. All surveys are confidential and go to our Coaches
Coordinator, Rob Edmund.
