Article XV - Selection of Coaches
| 1. |
In conformance with Shoreline Youth Football requirements, Head Coaches shall be nominated in June and voted on in July. |
| 2. |
Head coaches will present to the Executive Board, a list of assistant coaches for approval. At any level where GYF fields only one team- the Head Coach will submit a list of assistant coach candidates prior to the 1st practice. At any level where GYF fields multiple teams, the Head Coaches will submit a list of assistant coach candidates immediately after team selections are completed. Additions to the coaching rosters are permitted – but any addition must be first approved by the Executive Board prior to that coach’s participation in team activities. |

Article XVI - Splitting of Teams
| 1. |
The splitting of teams within an age group or division shall be accomplished so as to create two teams that are as close to having equal talent as possible. Head coaches will flip a coin for the right to choose first and then will alternate player selections until all players have been chosen.
| a. |
If the age group or division had multiple teams the year before, the returning players would automatically return to their team from the previous year. When there is a difference between the number of returning players (team 1), the team with the fewer number of returning players will make draft picks at a two to one advantage to team 2 until team 1 equals or exceeds team 2 in players at which time the draft will continue on a one to one pick rotation until all players have been selected. |
| b. |
All players moving from one division to another will be considered part of the draft pool of the division they are entering. Head coach’s son(s) moving to the head coach’s division will not be considered part of the general draft, however, they will be assigned a draft pick number that shall be mutually agreed upon by the head coaches of the effected division. If no agreement can be made between the coaches the board, by vote, will decide the draft pick of the player(s) in question. |
| c. |
Should 2 or more siblings be playing at the same level, they will be drafted as a group and go to the team that chooses the first one. The opposing head coach would get the next 2 (or more) draft picks to equalize the selection process. After that, alternating picks would continue. Siblings cannot be broken up between teams. |
| d. |
Coaches are to take into consideration and attempt to accommodate parent requests for children to play on the same team. Such requests should be for legitimate reasons such as guardianship or transportation reasons. Parents may request a wavier from one team to another (after the draft process is complete) by coming before the executive board. |
| e. |
Head coaches will insure, and the Executive Board will verify and approve that final team selections conform to any and all requirements set forth by the Shoreline Youth Football Conference. |
