PROVINCIAL ADVISOR 

Let’s start at the beginning… 



10


 

 

Although all 8 zones were 

represented by athlete(s), 3 zones 

failed to bring 50% of allocation. 

Overall participation was 46%. 

Female to Male ratio (43-57%) was 

not met (actually was 30%-70%) 

 

How are we going to fix this 


Zone 

participation/eligibility 

(1) Kootenays 9/11 

(2) Thompson Okanagan 21/30 

(3) Fraser Valley 12/39 

(4) Fraser River – Delta 8/19 

(5) Vancouver – Squamish 8/16 

(6) Vancouver Island 12/23 

(7) North West 3/3 

(8) Cariboo-North East 18/23 

91/164 = 55%

Committee 


 

CSL plan indicates that the BC 

Games fits into the Training to 

Compete stage for proposed age 

range for 2012 Games (15-16). 

In theory, BC Games provides the 

opportunity for athletes in the 

Training to Train Stage. Perhaps 

BC Games Staff Can discuss this 

with you. 


18


 

Our CSL is mandated by Judo 

Canada, BCWG meets all the 

criteria within the CSL as 

mandated by the BC Games.

Coaching – Team BC program – Directorates put 

out applications for Team coaches 12-14 month 

before games and solicits coaching applicants. 

Coach Selections normally done before player 

applications. All Coaches have to be certified 

Coaches know the players in their area and they 

solicit players as well as open applications for all 

players in zones 

Coaching Association and local clubs work 

together with Zone Directors/League 

Commissioners to do team selections in each 

area. 

Zone Directors responsible to get selected Teams 

and Coaches into the Database – 1 week before 

BC Games Deadline. (Gives PA time to deal with 

verification and last minute issues that come up) 


 

 

 

Provincial Advisors, Team BC personnel, 

Directorate, all HC and Zone Directors have 

provincial conference calls to go over 

processes for selecting players, scheduling 

try-outs, insuring all players know when, 

where and selection process. Go over 

everyone’s responsibilities and deadlines 

A second conference call held 2 weeks before 

registration deadline 

A third conference call held after registration 

deadline usually about 2 weeks before games 

– Sport Chair invited to deal with passing 

information about specific games, Provincial 

Advisor deals with transportation, final 

registration issues and any questions that 

parents have 


22


 

 

 

BCLOA (Officials Association) works 

with PA to get Referees Applications 

available 8-10 months before Games. 

BCLOA selects and RIC (Referee in 

Chief) for the games and the RIC and 

BCLOA insure that all Candidates meet 

the BC Games qualifications and work 

with PA to get the best referee team 

together for the games 

PA is responsible for getting all 

Officials registered. 

RIC sets the referee draw daily, 

referees evaluated during every game, 

earn their way to the Medal games. 


 

 

 

PA works closely with the Sport Chair to 

get local volunteers for the Games that 

have the technical qualification to deal 

with games being played 

BC Lacrosse office staff deals with 

receiving all applications, verifying 

coaching and officiating credentials, 

ordering uniforms and shorts, and work 

with the BC Games staff to insure that all 

documentation required for the Games is 

processed on time. 

PA, Sport Chair and office staff, attend all 

required meetings with BC Games staff 

dealing with putting the next Games 

together. 


23


 

 

 

PA is onsite at registration until all 

athletes, coaches and officials are 

registered – our goal is to make the 

registration process go as quickly as 

possible. 

Coaches are responsible for being with 

the athletes from the time the bus 

leaves their home town or the athletes 

are dropped off at the games until 

they are once again put into their 

parents care. 

PA or Sport Chair present at all 

games. (most of the time both)

dealing with discipline and 

suspensions if the need arises

representative to deal with any 

coaching issues at the Games.

Manager of Sport Performance 


 

 

We do not select zone representatives

directed to Basketball BC Head Office 

Not all the coaches at this age level are 

involved as BC Games Coaches

Provides quick and accurate responses to 

follow-up questions 


25


 

 

 

 

 

 

Head coaching recruitment is done between six 

months and a year in advance 

Coaches are selected by a PSO selection 

committee 

16 coaches selected for BC Summer Games teams 

36 coaches selected for initial zone teams 

throughout the province 

 

Zones with larger populations have multiple teams 

The PSO requests that the head coaches recruit 

additional assistant coaches from other 

clubs/schools for team selection process to negate 

bias 

Coaches may not vote for an athlete that 

participates in programming at their club/school 


 

 

 

 

Coaches are required to submit player 

roster information immediately after the 

completion of tryouts 

A template provided by the PSO is filled 

out at the first practice and returned to 

Basketball BC 

Includes information of all participants 

(coaches, athletes, alternates) 

A final team selection is done after 

Provincial Championships have taken 

place by a committee of coaches from 

that zone 


26


 

 

 

A final roster is compiled and submitted by 

the BC Games Head Coach a minimum of one 

week prior to the registration deadline 

Roster information for all teams is crossreferenced 

for accuracy against previously 

submitted zone team rosters/ BBC Database 

and is inputted on the Team BC website at 

the PSO head office by a summer intern 

Any errors or requests for additional 

information is forwarded directly to the PSO 

by the BC Games Society and is corrected by 

the PSO 


 

 

 

 

Immediately after player selection, 

coaches are required to submit the 

departure location of their team 

All team members must use BC Games 

provided transportation to the competition 

Players who will not require return 

transportation must indicate that they are 

opting out two weeks before the BC Games 

deadline 

Athletes’ parents must also fill out and 

submit a BC Games and PSO release form 

indicating that they are withdrawing their 

child from the care of the BC Games, PSO, 

and team head coach

CKBC Strategies 

 

 

 

 

Identified participation in BC Games 

as a growth opportunity 

Identified key target communities in 

each zone with ‘Champions’ 

Introduced a multi-discipline 

program that aligns with our LTAD 

principles 

Introduced a 2 tier competition 

model that aligns with our LTAD 

principles 


Action Steps 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Identify community leaders to ‘sell’ the 

program 

Inventory what equipment is available in the 

community and use it 

Deliver CanoeKids Coaching for Community 

Sport module 

Follow up with CanoeKids on the Road Camp 

using community leaders and provincial staff 

Provide ongoing support and where feasible 

integrate into mainstream programming 

Hire the right staff 

Use Social Media!!!! 


29


Ongoing support 

 

 

 

 

Repeat the program annually and 

encourage the community to take 

ownership of making it sustainable 

‘Up’ the level of coaching education 

provided 

Split the camp to allow for a 

‘FUNdamental’ program and a ‘Train to 

Train’ program 

Require a BC Games zone camp for 

each zone 


At the Games 

 

 

 

 

Volunteer orientation 

Officials education and mentoring 

Coach mentoring 

Alumnae involvement 


30


Successes 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Grown the sport provincially in multiple disciplines 

(sprint, whitewater, outrigger) 

92.5% of allocated athlete spots filled (gender split 

f:m as 46:54) 

Medal distribution between zones is becoming more 

equal 

Each zone can provide a local coach; some 

mentored by those more experienced (stepping 

stone to independence!) 

Each zone has accredited officials 

‘Remote’ athletes beginning to show success at the 

‘next level’ 

Clubs are planning/recruiting based on a BC Games 

cycle
