Proposal 92: Include a registered Head Coach in Large Group [ Revision 1 ]
Committee: 6. FreestyleSubmitted on 2025-07-20
Status: Passed on August 08, 2025
Background
The Basketball Committee addressed the fact that coaches in team sports are currently not really taken into account in the rulebook, which many basketball coaches find very unsatisfactory. It was therefore discussed in the Main Committee that coaches should become more visible in the rulebook and be perceived as part of a team. To this end, the following definition should be added to the first chapter:
Head Coach: A leader of a team in Basketball, Hockey and Large Group Freestyle. A competitor who may or may not be riding in the event but is able to speak on the team’s behalf with Judges and Directors.
Therefore it is proposed to also include a "Head Coach" in the Large Group section of the rules.
Proposal
Old rule:
6B.6.1.2 Large Group
Minimum of nine riders, no maximum number of riders.
New Rule:
6B.6.1.2 Large Group
Minimum of nine riders, no maximum number of riders and it may include one registered Head Coach.
Body
Further information can be found in the corresponding discussion and in the corresponding discussion.
