Volunteers would need to be available to coach at least 2 weekday after-school sessions per week and attend at least eight (8) Saturday home and away games during the regular football season, with the play-off potential in late Fall. In addition to possessing a professional coaching demeanor, volunteers must be willing to work in a team-environment with extensive collaboration between the Unit Director, Cheer Administrator, Director of Outreach and other parent-volunteers. Additional duties may include schedule and registrant management, on-site instruction, safety, and positive reinforcement.
