MAGNOLIA SOCCER CLUB
Coaches
Our coaches are parent volunteers who are enthusiastic about kids’ soccer! Each fall, the Club has 100+ first time or returning volunteer coaches. Coaching is a great way to support the kids, community, and Club while having fun and supporting your kids!
In addition to being an involved parent and getting to play with the kids, coaches…
•get to choose practice times! Make your kid’s practice work around your schedule!
•receive swag from the Magnolia Soccer Club!
•participate in fun activities like Coach Appreciation Week and Coaches' Night Out!
Additionally, coaches coaching more than one team (if you have 2+ kids registered)…
•have first pick of practice times!
•never have two kids’ games at the same time!
The Magnolia Soccer Club wants coaches to know that we appreciate their volunteer work so much and we want to make sure that coaches feel taken care of as essential members of our recreational soccer community!

Team Managers
Team Managers run the team behind-the-scenes and ensure that coaches and players have what they need to succeed.
Team Managers are responsible for...
-
Team communication
-
Stepping in to substitute for coaches in their absence. Like our volunteer coaches, Team Managers need to pass their SafeSport Certification, Intro to Safety, and Background Check.
-
Organizing coach gifts, if a team chooses to participate
-
Organizing a team party, if a team chooses to participate
MOD Team Managers are not required to attend practices and games, but are encouraged to support their team when possible!
MOD Team Managers do not get to choose the coaches for which they are paired with.
