R&P Youth Basketball Coaches Needed

Applications are being accepted for volunteer coaches for the St. Mary’s Department of Recreation & Parks youth basketball league.

The program runs from November through March 2025 at numerous public schools and R&P facilities. The program is designed to provide a fun, educational, and competitive environment for children of all skill levels.

Coaches will play a crucial role in developing players skills, promoting teamwork, and fostering a love for the game. Volunteer coaches are expected to hold one practice per week, at a designated time and location, as well as attend one game each weekend.

Interested candidates must be at least 18. Coaches must possess knowledge of the game of basketball, be ready to create team unity, and to help develop young players. Candidates must register online, complete a volunteer form, and complete and pass a background check. Volunteers are also required to complete assigned training.
