Coaching Perks and Information
Coaches also are able to select their child’s jersey number, pick practice days and receive support from the Recreational Directors, most importantly they spend some fun time on the field with the kids and meet new families!
One of the benefits of coaching is getting to select when and where to hold practices (in most cases). A coach will have one or two practices per week between 60-90 minutes each between the hours of 4:30 and 8:30pm either at a local park or school within our district.
