BECOME A VOLUNTEER COACH

Chicago Rec Sports (CRS) offers coaching opportunities.

Interested in volunteering to coach a kids’ sports program, but not sure you’re qualified? Don’t worry; coaching kids is not as difficult as you may think. Chicago Rec Sports provides the resources you need to enjoy your coaching experience and make a difference in the lives of kids.

At Chicago Rec Sports, we are committed to providing youth sports the way they should be. A big part of that commitment is supporting our volunteer coaches to ensure you are set up to succeed. We want you to coach kids with confidence. We want to equip you with the tools you need to provide a fun experience for kids so they play sports for years to come. We look forward to working with you!

Do you love being around children and teaching core values such as enthusiasm, respect and being a team player? How about creating lifelong memories? Coaching with CRS gives you the opportunity to do both –  all while having a great time yourself!

With our core approach of SEAD – Social, Emotional, Athletic Development, coaching kids with CRS is meaningful. Our one or two day a week programs include a practice day and a game day. This means your coaching commitment can fit easily into your busy schedule. Whether you are a parent, extended family member or just an active community member, coaching kids with CRS will not only be fun and easy, but you will also have a positive impact on the lives of young athletes.

Chicago Rec Sports provides all you need to feel confident and have fun out on the field or court!  Our lead coaches provide training and support at each practice or game-day. Our curriculum allows you to deliver quality, age appropriate instruction to the kids without the stress of creating your own plan.
