How to Volunteer

During your child's registration, you will be asked if you would like to volunteer as a coach. Provide the name of the parent or guardian who would like to coach, and we will get back to you with more information, including how to get a background check and SAFETY training.  Once both are passed, you will be eligible to coach and will be contacted about the upcoming coaches' meeting.
