Interested in volunteering for the Jr. Vikings?
To be volunteer is to serve others and that is what makes a strong community. The Selah Jr Vikings are lucky to have a strong youth sports community that supports our program. We are truly thankful to all of the athletes, families, parents, schools, volunteers and sponsors that supported us while we were the Selah Tomahawks and were excited to start this journey with CBYF. To be a volunteer with the Selah Jr. Vikings is to be a pillars to young aspiring athletes as they learn and grow together. We acknowledge those that make this commitment to serve our athletes is a blessing. Thank you to all of our current coaches and volunteers!

Want to be a Volunteer Coach?
The Selah Jr Vikings have a strong tradition that teach athletes how to compete as a team safely and efficiently. We pride ourselves in teaching fundamentals and have coaches with experience from playing or coaching at all levels from Youth to College on staff. Our goal is to teach athletes core concepts that they can use as they progress through the program and beyond. Its been proven the last several seasons that athletes that progress through our youth football program are well equipped for competition as they enter the Middle School and High School. If you've attended a Selah Viking High School football game a large percentage of those athletes competing began their journey with our program. We teach similar philosophies and terminology as our scholastic counterparts in Selah which will help athletes gain continuity as they grow together. We as coaches all have the same common goal to help Young Vikings be successful on and off the field!
