Our Travel Program is supported by a dedicated team of volunteers to ensure a positive and organized experience for players and families. For each team, we recruit a Head Coach, an Assistant Coach, and a Team Manager.

• The Head Coach leads team practices, develops strategies, and fosters skill growth.
• The Assistant Coach supports the Head Coach in training sessions and provides additional guidance to players.
• The Team Manager handles administrative tasks, such as coordinating schedules, communicating with families, and ensuring smooth logistics throughout the season.
  

As a coach, you play a vital role in the success of our teams and the overall enjoyment of our players and families. Together, these roles create a well-rounded support system, helping young athletes thrive on and off the field.
