WELCOME VOLUNTEERS

​

​Thank you for your interest in volunteering for our league!! At ARS we rely on parent/family volunteers to coach teams.  We provide the equipment and some information to get started and you provide the time.  

​

How long is the season?

Spring Season is mid March (after Spring Break) thru late March (week before Memorial Day).  

​Fall Season is late August thru mid November.

​

What is required of me as a Coach or Co-Coach?

• All Coaches must complete a "Safe Soccer" Checklist which includes a background check.

• Coaches hold one practice per week and have one game (usually on Saturday mornings*).

• Coaches communicate with the team weekly about practices, weather updates and game reminders.  This is a task that can be delegated to a team parent as well.

 

Should I be a Coach or a Co-Coach?

A Coach will be coaching the team alone.  He or she may have a team/parent to help with communication but they are responsible for the team independently.

 

A Co-Coach coaches with another parent on the team.  Some spouses or family members team up to do this together so they  have back up.  This is also a great option to coach with a neighbor or family friend that have kids the same age that also wish to play together.

​

When are practices?

Practice is held once a week (weather permitting).  Coaches choose their practice day (Mon - Thurs) and their time slot (5:30 or 6:30).  This can be a great perk if you have multiple kids/sports or a busy schedule.  Once your spot is chosen that is your practice time for the season.  Practices are 45 minutes to an hour depending on age group.
