Why coach?

Wherever there is an athlete, there is also a coach. Some coaches start as players, but many are parents, teachers or sports fans just like you, who want to help build community connections in their local area.

Coaches inspire players to be their best. They lead while building tomorrow’s leaders. When you coach, you encourage players to be active, to challenge themselves and most importantly, to have fun! 

But training to be a coach has many benefits to those who coach, and not just players.
