Maybe you played a sport in school that you loved, maybe you have a passion for a sport, but never played. Perhaps you weren't an athlete, but you relate and can communicate very well with children.... or maybe you just want to spend quality time with your child and their team.  If ANY of these pertain to you, then you CAN be a COACH! Coaches all have different styles, motivation methods, communication skills and knowledge of the sport.  Do not be deterred from coaching because you never played a sport, we can provide resources for you to make that aspect of coaching easier.
