WE NEED COACHES!!!

Youth Sports rely on volunteer coaches to exist. We consistently have 300-600 kids playing basketball on over 50 teams! Each team must have a volunteer coach to participate. Please consider taking this opportunity to coach your child and others from the community!

How do I apply to become a volunteer coach? Am I guaranteed a team?

To become a volunteer coach, you must pass a criminal background check. All coaches are required to fill out a coaching application form. Coaches are selected based on the number of teams in each division, and sometimes we have returning coaches that are given teams. Depending on the age group that you are trying to coach, there may not be available positions.

What is the Concussion certification? Why do I have to have it?

At the end of 2014 the Oregon Legislature passed Jenna's Law, which requires us to have all of our coaches certified in concussion recognition. We use the CDC Heads Up course, free of charge.
