Please refer to the Coach Code of Conduct in the NMHA Constitution.

Every coach must agree to this code before applying for or accepting a coaching position within NMHA.  Every coach must respect the principles of Fair Play/Equal Development. If someone doesn't agree with the Code, then we expect that person to remove him or herself from consideration for coaching positions.
