Works With: Youth Soccer players ranging in age from 5 to 19, caregivers
Overview:
South Bronx United (SBU) is a sports-based youth development organization that uses soccer as a tool for social change. Its mission is to prepare youth to succeed in high school, college, careers, their community and beyond. SBU serves more than 1,400 young people annually through programming on the field and in the classroom, including academic enrichment and tutoring, college prep, mentoring, leadership development, health and wellness, immigration legal services, and other individual and family support.
Rec League Coaches work with one team of athletes (either co-ed or single gender) within the SBU Recreational Soccer League during the fall and/or spring seasons. Coaches run short practices and manage games for youth that compete against the other teams within the SBU league, which consists of nine age groups and 62 teams. Coaches not only share the joy of playing the sport but also reinforce the values that sport develops (teamwork, discipline, respect, etc).
Time Commitment:
Please note- this is an in-person volunteer opportunity.
Rec League Coaches are asked to commit at least an hour and a half for approximately 11-12 Saturdays during the rec season. The fall season runs from September to November and the spring season runs March to June. Time and location will depend on the age level of the team you are assigned to.
Our rec soccer program runs at the following locations:
• Macombs Dam Field: The location is E.157th W. 161st Street, Bronx, NY 10451 161st Street between River and Jerome Avenues.
• Foster Park: The location is 1055 Jerome Ave, Bronx NY, 10452 Jerome Avenue at 165th Street. Park is on the north side of Yankee Stadium.
Primary Responsibilities:
Desired Qualifications:
Previous soccer knowledge is not required, but enthusiasm for working with children is a necessity.
Training:
We will provide volunteers with orientation materials, coaching training, and a coaching manual. A formal orientation/ training will be held prior to each season. Coaches will be assigned to age groups (age 4-19) based on experience, availability, and preference.
Benefits:
In addition to helping provide the resources and support to allow under-resourced youth the opportunity to participate in an organized sport, coaches will have opportunities for professional coaching training and will be connected to a network of caring volunteers for fun soccer-related events throughout the year.
