YES, YOU CAN BE A COACH. THE KIDS NEED YOUR HELP!

The kids need your help to coach and provide a positive soccer experience. Our desire is to make the rosters smaller, so that all kids receive more playing time and touches on the ball. You do not have to be a soccer expert, you only have to have a desire to work with kids.

We will have a Coaches Clinic to teach parents how to run practices, games, etc…as well as provide ongoing support throughout the season. All of us had to start somewhere – take a step of faith and enjoy the rewarding experience of working with kids! Please let me know if you have any questions about being a head coach or an assistant coach.
