Sports Coaches

Volunteer coaches are the backbone of our youth sports leagues—basketball, soccer and tee ball.

Being a Coach involves some responsibilities of communication pre-season, during the season and at the end of the season. A one hour commitment, each week coaches are asked to lead a 30 minute skills lesson, and manage the team for a 30 minute YBA game that is officiated by Y staff. Practice ideas, plans and drills are provided. You can elect to be a Head Coach, Co-Coach with another volunteer, or Assistant Coach.

Volunteering at our Y is an amazing and rewarding experience for you!
