Information for Coaches
Make a difference in the life of a child.
Sports are a great way for children to learn about teamwork, respect for authority and sportsmanship. Upward coaches and referees play a vital role in that. For a little as a two hour a week investment, you can make an eternal difference in the life of a child.
We will have 38 teams and as many as 8 cheer squads led by quality people like you. Will you be one making a difference and pulling out the winner in children this season?
