• Volunteer coaches must be available during after-school hours.

• Program sites meet twice a week after school for 1-1/2 hours.

• Coaches are expected to attend every practice.

• Each site has two to four coaches — one Head Coach and Assistant Coaches as needed.

• Head Coaches must be 21 years or older.

• Assistant Coaches must be 16 years or older.
