OPEN OPPORTUNITIES
All of Our Teams are coached and managed by volunteers. As a Volunteer/Coach/Administrator/Staff, we need your assistance in creating a safe environment for all involved. For the safety of our players, all volunteers must pass a background check as well as obtain safety certifications in order to participate in any club activities.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Coaching soccer is easy. It’s about playing soccer with a bunch of kids while helping them discover and understand the game in a safe and healthy environment. Encourage them to have fun, encourage them to play hard, and keep them safe. Remember, the game is simple; you play with your feet. The more touches they get with the ball, the better their “touch” will be.
Visit our Coaches Corner to view the resources we provide to all our volunteer coaches.
1-2 Assistant coaches really helps keep practice organized. Not all Games are going to have referees—an Assistant Coach can help with that on game day. Remember a whistle!

A manager organizes the teams' healthy snack rotation (fruit, snack bars, etc.) and helps with the end of the season celebrations. They also help the coaches make sure everyone has a ride to the game or practice.
