COACHES INFORMATION - The NAA needs coaches! Experience is great but we’ll help get you going if you haven’t coached before. To sign up to coach a team, please complete the on-line coaches application form. Use the same Registration link as players and select the coaches option.  (No fee is charged for the coaches applications.) Be sure to indicate whether you have a preference to be a head coach or assistant coach. Also indicate whether you prefer to be paired with a particular coach. We will do our best to honor such requests but only if they do not impact team balance AND if co-coaching requests are reciprocal.
