"Being a coach of your daughter’s team is priceless! This will be the 3rd year
my husband will coach for my daughter’s team,
and he’s thoroughly enjoyed every minute! (I have too). The league provided great
coaching classes to help with the
team. They will give you all the tools you’ll need to organize your practices/games,
and the rest just comes as you play and
have fun. My daughter will now be on an 8U team, and we’re looking forward
to another awesome year.
If you are considering coaching, I would encourage you to sign up. It’s a great way to spend time with your daughter, meet new friends (both kids and grown-ups), and to enjoy a team sport together.
See you on the field!"
