Why isn “Assistant Coach” an approved volunteer position?
A. Our Region only recognizes the position of “Coach” as the coaching volunteer obligation. This is necessary for many reasons, most importantly to assure we have enough COACHES for teams to be formed. In addition, requesting to be paired up with a friend to be their Asst Coach threatens the integrity of team balancing during the tedious task of team formation. After the team is formed and the coach meets with the parents, he/she may ask for some assistance, but this will not fulfill your volunteer requirement due to the many areas of need in our Region. Be a COACH!! We’ll teach you the game and you can enjoy it with your child over the next several years!
