Volunteer Head and Assistant Coaches

If you are an organized, high-energy and positive person, we encourage you to apply to be a volunteer head coach or assistant coach. Coaches will be responsible for running one practice and one game per week.  Typically, the conference managers can accommodate a coach's weeknight schedule for practices, and games are played on Saturday mornings and afternoons.

The week before the season starts, a 90 minute coaching clinic will be held at Wilson Farm Park.  Additional information for running practices can be found in the Coaches Resources.
