Without parent volunteers, PYSC could not exist. PYSC strives to provide a positive environment in which the children we serve can participate in the fun and physically active game of soccer. Coaching does not require any existing experience or knowledge of soccer, it's an opportunity to learn a new game while your child has fun! PYSC will provide you with the required team equipment and training. Training for coaches is provided each spring at no cost to you and is tailored to the specific age group you are coaching.
Thank you for your interest in coaching for PYSC. We appreciate your service, time, and support for the kids!
