After-school Soccer Coach

OVERVIEW
South Bronx United is seeking coaches that not only want to share the joy of playing the sport but also want to reinforce the values that sport helps develop (teamwork, discipline, respect, etc) for its after-school soccer program. SBU, a sports-based youth development organization, runs after-school practices for boys and girls ages 6 - 14, 3 days a week. Coaches work with one age group of 10 - 20 youth for 2 hours at least one day a week.

WHEN
Tuesdays and Wednesdays 4 – 6pm
Fall Season: Early September – Early November,
Spring Season: Mid March – Mid June

WHERE
Macombs Dam Field: 161st Street between River and Jerome Avenues. The field is on the south side of Yankee Stadium across from Gate 4.

COMMITMENT
Coaches must be able to commit to being present for at least 2 hours, one day a week (4-6 pm on either Tuesdays, Wednesday, or Thursdays) for one season.

QUALIFICATIONS
Previous coaching experience is not required, but enthusiasm for working with children and background playing the sport is needed.

TRAINING
We will provide volunteers with orientation materials, coaching training, and a coaching manual. A formal orientation/ training will be held prior to each season.

BENEFITS
In addition to helping provide the resources and support to allow underserved and under-resourced youth the opportunity to participate in a safe, structured environment, coaches will have opportunities for professional coaching trainings and will be connected to a network of caring volunteers for fun soccer-related events throughout the year.
