About Coaching

As a coach, you'll guide a team of players through a season of growth, skill-building, and fun. You don't need to be a soccer expert, you just need to show up, be encouraging, and help kids fall in love with the game.

What you'll do:

  • Lead one to two practices per week (about 1–1.5 hours each)
  • Manage substitutions and provide inspiration during games
  • Teach basic soccer skills and help players grow
  • Create a positive, supportive team environment
  • Communicate with families

Time commitment: About 3–4 hours per week during the spring core season, and 5–7 hours per week during fall core, United, or Select seasons.

We'll provide:

  • Free coaching certification
  • Practice plans and activities
  • All the equipment you need
  • Support from experienced coaches and a Slack channel to communicate
  • Training on age-appropriate development

Training

Free training for in-house badges is provided towards the start of each season
