Recreational Soccer Coach for 4 & 5 year olds

Save to Favorites

South Bronx United is looking for caring, energetic, and committed volunteers to coach a Under 6 year old team (4,5 year olds) in its Youth Recreational Soccer League for the Fall Season beginning in early September. We're looking for coaches that not only want to share the joy of playing the sport but also want to promote the values that sport helps develop (teamwork, discipline, respect, etc).

Location: Both fields are next to Yankee Stadium

• Macomb's Dam Field, 161st St between River and Jerome Avenues OR
• Mullaly Park, Jerome Avenue at 165th Street

Time: The league holds games every Saturday morning/afternoon in Fall and Spring. Depending on age group coaches commit to 1.5-2hrs a week.

Responsibilities: Head Coaches must be able to commit to being present for at least an hour and a half every Saturday (excluding holiday weekends) during the season. Co-Coaches or Assistant Coaches are asked to be present as often as possible and to work closely with their partner coach to make sure that there is always somebody present to work with the kids.

Qualifications: Previous soccer knowledge is not required, but enthusiasm for working with children is a necessity.

Training/Support: We will provide coaches with orientation materials and a coaching manual. A formal in person coaching training wil be held prior to each season. Coaches will be assigned to age groups (age 4-16) based on experience, availability, and preference.
