Youth Sports Coaches
Volunteer coaches are vital to the success of our youth sports programs. Coaching a youth team usually requires only an eight-week commitment. Practices normally begin two weeks prior to the start of games and then a six-week season. Coaching opportunities are available for:NFL Flag Football: Grades K-6. Games are played on week night evenings in early fall and late spring. Practices are scheduled by the coach.
Youth Basketball : Grades: 1-8. Games are played on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings in the winter. The team sports staff work with coaches to arrange a convenient practice time and location.
