Most of our volunteers are parents, we do have an occasional aunt, uncle, or family friend that steps in to coach a team. Coaches must be 18 years old and complete a yearly background check as well as updating their SafeSport training once per yer.
If you have never coached, no worries. We have a variety of sources including rules and lesson plans that can help coaches plan their practices sessions. All information can be found in the right navigation from the recreation league page. You are also welcome to reach out to us via the chat bubble and we will make sure that our technical director reaches out to you.
If you have more than one child and are interested in coaching more than one team you are more than welcome to do so, we can't thank you enough! We try to make sure those multi-team coaches have a schedule that works. Once we game schedule is complete we review it to make sure there are no overlapping games for your teams. If by chance you see we missed overlapping games, we ask that you reach out so we can make adjustments to the schedule.
One perk of coaching your child's team is the ability to choose the team practice during the week. We strongly rely on our volunteer coaches to run this program.
If you are interested in coaching a team, please indicate your preference of coach or assistant coach while you are registering your child. If you do not have a child you are registering, please reach out to Dakota United SC so we can assist in lining you up with a team that is in need of a coach.
Thank you for considering coaching a team!
