All of our coaches at WJCSC are volunteers. We are continually seeking new coaches mainly from our players parents but not limited to. If you are interested in coaching, please contact our Director of Coaching or fill our one of our volunteer forms when you register your child. Our coaches will receive training at the state level and be certified for their teams age groups. These training sessions take as little as a half a day for the younger age groups and up to 2 weekends for advanced. There is a minimal cost to acquire this license and the league will often help you with these costs.
