Coaches are vital to Youth Soccer. Being a Coach is 100% volunteer work. Volunteering your time to better your players and yourself, all while having fun! Because we are working with children it is important that some training and a background check are done, for the safety of everyone. The following 3 trainings are mandatory to coach youth soccer, all of which are FREE OF CHARGE, if it is asking you to pay, please contact Jamie before you proceed.
