Are you ready to have fun Coaching your child’s team? Get paid with playoff points when you become certified with Coach Training classes. All head Coaches must be age appropriate trained. 
 
Head Coach Training can earn your child's U10 through U14 team 25 points (Assistant Coaches earn 10 points) of the 85 points they need to earn to qualify for our regional playoffs.

Don’t forget to get your referee’s certified. This will add up to 10 points towards your team’s total. Each game you pre-register to referee, and center referee, will earn your child's team another 5 points.

Trained team parents who attend orientation earn 5 points.

Need more points?  Contact Tom Carolan, Fields Administrator. 
 
So, get off the couch! Get some exercise! And, serve your kids! Coach, Referee and help out with the fields! We can’t make it without you.
