------------------------------

Did you play a sport or cheer in high school or college? 
     Do you want to help kids have fun?
          CYP Youth Sports is looking for coaches!

The success of Youth Sports depends on volunteers. Our children -- ages 3 to 18 -- need volunteer coaches to help them play the games, learn skills and have fun. You don't have to be a parent, just someone who wants to be a part of the team helping children explore the world of sports. 

Coaches are needed for the following age groups of children:
3-4 (Start Smart)
5-6 years
7-8 years
9-10 years
11-12 years
13-18 years

Coaches must be at least 18 and a U.S. citizen.

Note:  While instructors are needed to lead the basics of soccer to 3- to 4-year-old kids, Start Smart is a child/parent focused program that requires frequent parent engagement during their child's Start Smart activities.

If you are interested in becoming a Youth Sports volunteer, please email fct.na.nsa.mwr_cyp@eu.navy.mil with the subject line Sport Volunteer Coach or call at DSN 629-4731.
