Coaches are unpaid volunteers at all levels. Rep coaches must be qualified through the National Coach Certification Program. Rep coaches, typically, have considerable coaching experience.

Historically, there are more non-parent coaches at the rep level and more coaches per team. This allows practices to focus more fully on player skill development. This, and a longer season with more games, practices and tournaments, are the main reasons that players develop their skills faster and more fully in an Elite program.
