VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES WITH YOUTH                                                                                                                      

 Coach Youth Sports!
At the Y, we believe when people come together for a common cause, the whole community is strengthened. When you become a volunteer Coach or Assistant Coach, you have the opportunity to share your talents, strengths and gifts to develop skills & character in those who need it most (our kids!).
Volunteer coaching is a powerful opportunity to instill positive values and help kids develop healthy habits that extend far beyond the playing field. Our coaches provide a safe, healthy atmosphere, teach fundamentals of the game and promote the benefits of physical activity and teamwork.

Schedules rotate throughout the year and include sessions for the following sports:

  • T-Ball
  • Basketball
