YMCA coaching positions are volunteer. So, the first step in becoming a Youth Sports coach is to complete a Volunteer Application, which can be picked up at the front desk of any of our Ys. Since the form is fairly generic for all volunteer positions, you will also want to connect with the Youth Sports Director at the branch. The folks at the desk will point you in the right direction. Once you meet the Youth Sports Director, he/she can walk you through any additional steps to get started. Please be aware that all volunteers are required to take a background check and be finger-printed, to assure the continued safety of our youth.
