Volunteer Coaches Needed (click here for Volunteer Coaches preference form)
One of the most important aspects of our Recreation Program are our volunteer coaches. We do not use a paid coaching staff to coach our recreational players. Without volunteer coaches, we can't have teams for our players! Volunteer coaches have the availability to request their practice day and time. We offer our HEAD COACHES a 100% discount for their child they are are coaching, a choice of practice days, times, a coaching shirt, and coaching gear. At this time there is not a discount for Assistant Coaches.
