Volunteer Coaching Opportunities

By coaching youth sports, volunteers are positively contributing to a child’s mental and physical well-being, building their confidence and teaching the valuable skills of the sport, teamwork and communication. Those interested in volunteering as a youth coach should contact the City’s Athletics Division staff at 850-891-3866.
