Big difference in constant close contact of a coach, from 90 minutes as an umpire on the same field with minimal contact, none physical.

When I was AD for a Parish and the Diocese started that for coaches, I refused. I personally knew the coaches and vouched for them, being strong Christians with a youth influencing maner was a requirement.
