become a coach

Current EVAC head and assistant coaches are volunteer parents, alumni, or community members from the greater Phoenix area.  All coaches are required to complete the courses/background checks required by the Canyon Athletic Association (CAA). This includes a NFHS or PCA coaching certification, first aid and concussion course, and protection from abuse course. Per the CAA, coaches must be high school graduates and clear background checks. Our coaches sign and agree to our statement of faith and must be in good standing in their community and church body.  EVAC requires each team to have a head and assistant coach.
