Becoming a Coach


 Thank you for considering or becoming a coach! Our association and the community's youth rely on and appreciate you!

Season runs May 6 2025 - June 26 2025

-Intro to Soccer runs Tuesdays 5:00pm-5:45pm
-U5 to U11 runs Tuesdays & Thursdays 5:45pm - 6:45pm

-League Schedule is still being determined for U13 & U15 
Our best guess:
U13 Monday & Wednesdays 7pm-8pm Practices 7:30-8:30pm game nights 
U15 Tuesdays & Thursdays 7pm-8pm Practices 7:30-8:30pm game nights
League will have some travel and we'll forward information as we get it from Tri-county

So far we've managed to pair teams with 2 coaches, we are trying to do this because we know not everyone is available all the time. Any coaches considering becoming a coach can expected to be paired and on their child's team. If you would like to have you're own team and not share the responsibility that can also be arranged!

Types of Coaches needed:

- In house coaches coach our intro, u5, u7, u9, u11 teams
