COACHES NEEDED FOR KING PARK LITTLE KIDS SOCCER
We are looking for coaches to help lead the Little Kids Soccer program at MLK Park again this summer. You don't have be there all, or even many, of the 10 week Saturday morning sessions, we'd still love to have you join in the fun and teaching with the games with a soccer ball. We work with 4-year-olds through 12-year-olds, and generally have 50 kids each Saturday. We aim to have a cadre of 15 coaches for the summer, with 8 or 9 of them being at any given Saturday morning session.
The program consists of 10 weeks of Saturdays, 9:30 to 11:30 AM, start June 13th and run through August 15th, 2015. You come as often as you can.
We have two coach training sessions in the little kids games this year. You can come to either one or both sessions. The games are taught by St. Thomas University Women's Varsity Coach Sheila McGill.
Sunday, May 17th, 7 to 8:30 PM, and/or
Monday, May 18th, 7 to 8:30 PM.
If you can't coach on the field, but want to help, we need some help also with coordination and organizing for the program as a whole, and some of the sessions on Saturdays as well.
Let Michael know you're interested with an e-mail at michaeljvanderford@gmail.com, or a call on his mobile phone (612/296-9647).
