How to Volunteer

During your child's registration you will be asked if you would like to volunteer as a head or assistant coach. At that time if you select you do want to be a coach you will be asked for more information including some personal info that will enable us to complete a background check.  Once the background check is passed, you will be contacted prior to the season beginning to confirm your spot and provide you with details on the upcoming coaches meeting.
