VOLUNTEER COACH
Our 5 v 5 recreational soccer league is coached by volunteer parents or current club team players in High School. Players who have parents willing to coach will move to the top of our registration list. Olympic Soccer Academy provides training programs for parents/adult volunteers interested in coaching. We hope you will consider helping our 5 v 5 Recreational Soccer Program by coaching or volunteering. If interested, there is a section in the online registration program to select volunteer/coach.
A free clinic will be held by USSF licensed coaches for all the recreational players.
This will give the volunteer coaches some great drills to conduct during practice and a great session for all kids.
COACH'S MEETING
Your child’s coach will contact you by phone or email regarding practice/game schedule/ and more info after the coach's meeting. The Coach meeting will be held sometime late August, 2020.
