Want to Coach BPAR this Season?!

Volunteer coaches are the heart of BPAR Sports — we truly couldn’t do it without you! If you're passionate about youth development, teamwork, and sports, we’d love to have you join!

Please Note:
BPAR conducts background checks on ALL coaches (Head & Assistant) for the safety of our players.

Head Coaches must be legal adults (18+). 
Any minor wanting to coach must be accompanied at all times (practices, games, etc.) by a cleared coach.
No minor can be listed or serve as a head coach. 

To become a BPAR Coach (Head or Assistant) you must complete the following:

Complete the Online Coaches Application:

o The online coaching form will be available under the "Coaches" tab.

o Paper applications are no longer accepted.

o Completing the online application allows BPAR to run background checks and add coaches to teams.

o Please note: The online application will not be accessible until registration for that specific sport opens.




Coaching Multiple Teams – Important Guidelines

We understand that, in some cases, one individual may assist with multiple teams across various age groups. Please review the following expectations and procedures to ensure clarity:

 One Head Coach - Per Team - Per Age Group
While someone may help coach multiple teams, they can only be listed as the Head Coach for one team per age group.
o Example: A coach can be the head coach of one 7-8 team and one 9–10 team, but not two 11–13 teams. 
MANDATORY: Each team is required to have at least one BPAR-approved assistant coach on file to ensure coverage in the event the head coach is unavailable.


Assistant Coaches – Secondary Contact & Preparedness
o The Assistant Coach listed on the roster will serve as the secondary contact if the Head Coach cannot be reached. Please keep this in mind when selecting and listing your assistant. 

o It is MANDATORY for each team to have at least one BPAR approved assistant coach. Depending upon the sport more than one assistant coach may be allowed. 

o The Listed Assistant Coach(es) are expected to step in and carry out all coaching responsibilities if the Head Coach is unavailable for games. Head Coaches should plan ahead for potential conflicts to ensure coverage and continuity for their team.


Scheduling Conflicts
o If a coach is involved with multiple teams, BPAR will do its best to avoid scheduling conflicts. However, there are no guarantees, and games will not be rescheduled due to overlapping coach responsibilities.





Want to create a Team Roster?

o Download the Team Roster from the "Coaches" tab on the website.

o Complete the form and return it:

o By email to: [email protected]

o Or in person at the BPAR office: 3223 Old Shed Road, Bossier City.


Thank you for your interest in making a difference this season!
