Why Coach?
Coaching is a way to be involved in your community, get to know and understand your neighbors, spend some quality time, and make a difference in the life of a child. Hey, might just get a charge out of it!
Make a difference!
Things To Do
- Be Trained. You wouldn't practice medicine without taking medical courses. Why would you coach kids without training? See training opportunities below in resources.
- Be There. Be at all the practices and games. If you can't be there, make sure you assistant is!
- Be Informed. Attend coaches' meetings. Know what's going on in your division and organization. Know what's going on with the parents and kids.
- Be Informing. Keep the parents informed about what's happening with the team. Maybe create a newsletter. Reflect what's going on with the parents, the kids, and you.
