How do I become a coach or sponsor of a youth team? Or both?
Answer: THANK YOU for being willing to be a volunteer coach. We are looking for coaches each season as our leagues continue to grow. While registering your player, you can sign up to be a VOLUNTEER coach for soccer, flag football, or cheerleading. (Tackle football is different). Just click on: I will coach my child. If we have a need for new coaches, we will reach out to you and start the process. All volunteer coaches complete a background check and concussion training.
Want to be a team sponsor? GREAT! We will get you a sponsor form to fill out and return with the sponsor payment so we can put your business name on the back of each player's jersey. We rely on sponsors like you, to help with the ever growing cost of equipment and uniforms, so we can keep the cost affordable for our community. PLEASE EMAIL: jshamblin@ci.lancaster.oh.us for your sponsor form.
