Coaches have the ability to transform kids' lives. From teaching the basics of a sport to acting as a role model and representative for the City of San Luis Obispo, a volunteer coach can serve as an incredibly meaningful opportunity in our community.
The Community Services Division, housed in the Parks and Recreation Department, seeks 1-2 Youth Sports Clinic Coaches to volunteer their time and talent in October for pickleball on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:45 - 4:45 PM at French Park from 10/6 to 10/29.
This active and engaging role is ideal for college-level or older (18+) volunteers, though if you're a high school athlete looking to give back and get involved through a sport you love, please respond. A volunteer will be successful in this position when they:
- have the ability to work with up to 20 children, ages 5-14
- posses a deep understanding of the sport
- are great at creating positive, inclusive, and safe environments through encouraging kids to have fun.
After responding to this opportunity, community members will be contacted by a member of the Community Services Division to go over next steps, including:
- a background check (as you will be coaching children),
- facility location and access information,
- and additional details like what to wear, how to prepare, and City staff support information.
All resources are provided. Show up and serve, impact a kids' life for the better!
