“Some of you have helped coach before and may want to help again, while others might want to get involved for the first time. Right now, we are mostly trying to fill positions at the younger age groups, U-10, U-8, and U-6 coed. There may also be opportunities to assist with older teams. We know many of you have a soccer background already and we are committed to helping all new coaches, so they feel comfortable leading a practice and guiding a team in a game. The club will offer plenty of support in the way of an intro to coaching workshop (date TBD), mentor coaches and training resources.”
- • Referees needed! Please share! There is a sign-on bonus and training will be reimbursed. Referees get paid $32.25 per match for a one-hour U10 match (center ref) and between $20 and $50 for other games, depending on role and age group of the game! Teenagers on up are encouraged to sign up! Contact [email protected] for more information and swysc.com - Referee Corner.

U-6 soccer is a chance to introduce players and families to the game of soccer. This is a great chance for parents to get involved in coaching.
