Oscar Lasko YMCA and Childcare Center
Join the Y team as a youth sports volunteer! We are looking for passionate, dedicated volunteers to help coach and support our practice and game day sessions. Leagues are typically eight-week programs focusing on fun, while teaching team play and basic skills. For coaches, volunteering requires an 8-10 week commitment for the season. Practices take place in the evenings Monday through Thursday, and games take place on Saturday mornings. Clinics and Summer Sessions typically take place 2-3 evenings during the week. You must be 18 years of age to volunteer as a coach or assistant coach, but positions are available for minors to volunteer as team volunteers as well as clinic volunteers. Appropriate attire must be worn at all times. All clothing must reflect the YMCA core values. Shirts must cover undergarments. Swimsuits may only be worn in the pool area. Sneakers or active footwear, as well as acceptable active attire, are required in the other areas of the facility.
To coach youth players in a competitive but developmental program. The goal is to have each child learn basic team concepts both on and off the field and improve their skill set of the sport.

Youth Sports volunteers play an integral role not only in building skills but also in building character for our young athletes. If you are unable to volunteer for a specific practice or game, please coordinate and plan ahead with your volunteer team and your YMCA contact to assure that practices and games can continue.
