SPORTS PROGRAMS 36 Our department relies heavily upon volunteer coaches to help provide our youth sports participants with a quality recreational experience. Youth sports coaches are often an important figure in establishing a positive first exposure to sports and help plant the seeds for important values like discipline, hard work, respect, and self-esteem. These values transcend the field and court, and we would not be able to impart these lessons without our volunteers. We believe that winning has less to do with the final score and more to do with the core values of sportsmanship, self-confidence, opportunity and fun. Our youth sports programs are designed to create a positive environment for youth by emphasizing the following: • Teaching life skills, good sportsmanship and game fundamentals • Participation in a safe and healthy environment • Having a fun and enjoyable experience Help in any capacity is welcomed, whether that be head coach, assistant coach, or just a helper. Our department provides resources to aid our coaches with practices and games. A willing individual is more important than a knowledgeable one. If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the Volunteer Office at 937-296-2433. Volunteer coaches are required to complete an application and pass a background check.
