Your role as a coach is to help support our staff during drills and then to lead the team during games ensuring every child has an equal opportunity to play and learn, provide leadership and serve as a role model for proper sportsmanship and character development. Contact Leticia Torres at Ext. 1710 for more information. For the safety of our children, all volunteer coaches are required to undergo a criminal background and child abuse clearance checks (paid for by the Y) as well as attend a coaches training.
