Interested in Coaching? Fill out a quick application HERE and our Youth Programs Manager will be in touch. Parents who pass a background check and commit to coaching a team before registration opens may register their own children early. The youth programs manager will reach out to you to organize this sign up. No coaching experience is necessary just a passion for empowering kids and building community. You do not need to be an NECC member to coach. All coaches must pass a background check.
Spread the word! Tell your friends, and start planning with your group to try and register to get on the same team. Also, start thinking about whether you might want to step up as a coach. It’s a rewarding way to get involved and make a difference in our community.
