The Monroe Parks and Recreation Department relies heavily on volunteer youth sport coaches to help provide our participants with quality athletic experiences. Anyone interested in volunteering as a head or assistant coach should contact Rae Moore at 704.282.4663 or rlmoore@monroenc.org. Volunteers are always needed! All volunteers must undergo a background screening prior to the start of each sport specific season. Use the QR code at right to apply. COACHING RESPONSIBILITIES:
Be organized and prepared for practices and games. Practice guidelines are provided if needed. Communicate and keep all parents informed about practices, games, pictures, etc. Know the rules regarding the sport in which you are coaching. Remember winning will NEVER be the main focus of our youth leagues. Teach the fundamentals of the game, help the children establish a sense of teamwork, and always remember to have fun! Head coaches will receive reimbursement for registration fee at the conclusion of the season for their child (one per Head Coach).
