Soccer coaches NEEDED! For toddlers and up - Brooklyn

Soccer players! No coaching experience needed. We just need you.

Love soccer? Want to share the joy of the game with underserved kids in central Brooklyn? Join us for this exciting opportunity to build a brand new league for youth who need it in Crown Heights!

We are looking for indoor soccer for toddlers in Crown Heights (under 5 set) and this spring for ages 5 and up to teens at Hamilton Metz Field - 608 Lefferts Avenue.

Please email us at soccer@seedsinthenmiddle.org

Spring soccer 2026 at HAMILTON METZ FIELD, 608 Lefferts Ave.: Begins April 11, 2026 Saturdays 2-4 pm and Sundays 4-6 pm.

Youth ages: toddler and up - but mainly 5 and up

WHERE: Hamilton Metz Field at Albany and Lefferts Avenues near PS 91, not far from Utica Avenue, east of Prospect Park - easy to bike to or if you have a car, to park. Can take 3/4 trains to Utica.

COMMITMENT: At least two sessions for recreational soccer. We also need lead coaches, who can commit to at least 5 sessions. If you can lead a team for our new soccer league, meaning the youth play games every week for 10 weeks, let us know. We are trying to build a league toward a travel team for underserved youth.

Who are the kids?

Most children have never played soccer and some come back every season - so there's a variety of levels.

This is a neighborhood with limited healthy options - to eat or get physically fit. So, you'll play a role in not only building teamwork, but empowering youth and families to get active.

Have fun, play ball, make a difference.

Attn, Students! Yes, we give community service credits. Recommendation letters given.

Our program started in 2009 just to get kids active. Now, we want to expand a nascent league. Kids love it, but don't know the game so we need your help.

Can you play in a fundraising soccer game? Let us know.

MORE INFO:

No coaching experience needed. Just love of the game and able to collaborate with others. Of course, we'd love it if you have experience...

Practices are co-ed, and players range from 3 to 12 years old and are at beginner to intermediate level. If we have enough players, will create boys and girls only teams for ages 10 and up..

If you're self-motivated, love kids and are good with them, can handle the unexpected, and just love this game and want to share it, you're for us. Looking for reliable and flexible players who can commit to at least 2 practices. This is a great community service opportunity for high school and college students. Yes, we do give letters and service hours.

WE ASK VOLUNTEERS TO COMMIT TO AT LEAST 2 TIMES ON THE FIELD. If you can donate $10 or a soccer ball, we appreciate that, too.

If you aren't able to coach, but still want to help, we need folks to:

• advertise with flyers, post flyers, drop off flyers at schools and community areas
• blast on social media
• take attendance and register players
• other administrative tasks

Please send us information about you- a resume or some information on your background so we get to know you a little to
