Help introduce young children to the fun and fundamentals of soccer while building confidence, teamwork, and a love for physical activity.
Asheville PEAK Academy is seeking two volunteer coaches to support a youth soccer program for children in grades 5th–7th (10-13). Volunteers will help teach basic soccer skills during weekly practices and provide guidance and encouragement during games. This is a great opportunity to make a meaningful impact by helping young players learn the value of teamwork, sportsmanship, and staying active.
Coaches do not need to be professional athletes—just individuals who enjoy working with kids and are excited to create a fun, supportive environment where children can learn and grow.
