Coaches
All house soccer coaches and assistants are volunteers. If you’re interested in volunteering, please use the same player registration website as for players. Of course, it’s great if you know the sport but enthusiasm and a positive attitude is most important. We can help you with the basics such as how to manage games and structure meaningful practice sessions.
