VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

 

REC EXPRESS U11 / U12 COORDINATOR

The U11/U12 Coordinator assumes overall responsibility for the smooth operation of the division throughout the season. Responsibilities include assigning Coaches to teams, recruiting additional coaches as necessary, rostering players according to the LSC rostering policy, and assigning teams in our GotSport computer program. The Coordinator will work with coaches to arrange practice nights and times and check in periodically during the season. The coordinator should be available on some Saturdays to observe games and check in with coaches to ensure things are running smoothly and/or address any issues that may arise throughout the season. 

As with all division coordinators, the U11/U12 Coordinator will maintain and encourage open communication with both coaches and parents throughout the season, monitor their LSC email account, and provide division updates at scheduled Board meetings. At the close of the season, additional responsibilities include overseeing Playoffs and distributing championship t-shirts.  

There is a lot to learn but be assured current LSC Board members will be there to help you every step of the way and you will shadow the current U11/U12 Coordinator for your first season in the position.

 

COACHING

 

Coach Overview

LSC Express Coaches run a team from nuts to bolts. This position includes sending e-mails to your team to communicate important dates and times, setting up and running practices (U7/U8 and above), coaching during games, and encouraging good sportsmanship and development in your players.

On Saturdays, Coaches who have the first games will set-up the field (move on nets, sandbags, flags) and those with the last games will clear off the field.

LSC aims to have 1 coach for U5-U8 & 2 coaches for U9 & up (1 Head Coach & 1 Assistant Coach). Upon completion of the season, all Coaches who have not missed more than 3 practices and/or games in total will be reimbursed the full amount paid for the season for their child on the team, minus the $10 non-refundable administration fee. In addition, Assistant Coaches will receive 50% reimbursement, minus the $10 non-refundable administration fee.
