Coaches Duties and Responsibilities
Rosters
You will be given a preliminary roster that has last year’s players for the team you are coaching. If a player is returning this year, leave him on the roster. If they are not, draw a line through that player’s information. If you need to add new players, put them on the bottom of the existing roster. If there is not enough space blanks are attached. When complete return to your town rep or registrar. If you wish an electronic copy, please contact the registrar Allyn Ward [email protected]
To be complete the roster needs the following information:
First and Last Name
Full address including fire # for rural routes
Postal Code
Phone number
Birthdate
Birth registration number if attending OBA tournaments (These can be found on their birth certificates. It is the number that is as follows: Birth year (last 2 digits)-05-6digits.)
Without this number I am unable to submit your roster to the OBA and it will be rejected. Without a roster you are unable to participate in tournament play and the OBA Championships. The preliminary roster is NOT the one you take to tournaments.
Your town registrar forwards the rosters on to the WOBA registrar by submitting them online on the OBA website. Once approved by the WOBA registrar they are forwarded on to the OBA for approval. The OBA assigns a team number to the roster and if all information is accurate returns the roster to the WOBA registrar. At that point the rosters are forwarded on to your town rep. When they are returned to the coaches, the coach needs to have the players as well as any of the coaching staff verify the information is correct and sign the roster. Note: No changes or additions can be made to your roster after June 30th. Make copies to take with you to tournaments.
When participating in tournaments the team is required to sign in on a form at the tournament. On this sign in sheet the team number needs to be recorded. If you do not supply the team number your team can face a fine from the OBA. Please remember to always supply this number to the convenor of the tournament.
Please Note: Turn around time is needed to get your rosters. If you need it for early tournaments get it to the registrar early. Preliminary Roster deadline is June 1st and final amendments may be made up until June 30th.

Regular League Play
All team schedules are required to have a minimum of 12 games per team. Home teams are to submit the scores to update the website. This is extremely important for classification and determining team seedings for our league's year end tournaments. If scores are not supplied your team will be in jeopardy of not being classified when it comes time to participate in OBA Championships and therefore you will not be allowed to participate.
The schedule Typically begins the beginning of May. Regular league play must end by division designate date preferably 2 days prior to their respective year-end tournament. This is to include any rescheduled games due to rain out or cancellation. For regular season play only, 24 hours verbal notice must be given to the opposing coach if a Centre cannot field a team.
