This provides the YSO with the power to set and enforce Positive Coaching standards, and in a few cases, to be able to tell a coach that he or she no longer can coach in this organization because of inappropriate behavior. Many YSO leaders believe they cannot ask much of their coaches since they are volunteers. It is useful to look at other organizations that function largely with volunteers. Some volunteer organizations are able to attract more volunteers than they need. To answer that, let's first look at what motivates people to volunteer.
Most adults volunteer to coach because they love coaching their sport.
That may seem obvious but it often gets lost when YSOs ask coaches to raise funds, provide game snacks, help maintain fields and facilities, etc. These activities can contribute to burnout and cause them to prematurely leave coaching, if they even start in the first place. A YSO should organize to let coaches coach. It should recruit other volunteers to maintain fields. A YSO should provide opportunities for coaches to get to know each other and have fun with each other.
