Calling All Coaches

The Boys & Girls Clubs of the Big Pines does sports in Marshall, lots of them. We serve 1,200 kids right now.

In the spring we started Small Side Futbol (spring soccer) because a few parents asked us. We were expecting a quaint league of 60-70 kids, not 250. Not 250 with 65% new to the Club!!

We also weren't expecting Pop Warner to go away. We did abut 175 in football to their 90-ish. That's 265 kids needing a football home.

And then you count the parents who are concerned for their kid's safety and want them to participate in flag football...

The bottom line is that we need coaches in a big way. If you have had an inkling to try or you know a little bit about a particular sport, we would love to have you.

I would encourage you to first read our "So you want to coach" piece. We want dedicated coaches that will encourage, teach, and want to win - but realize that winning is not the only thing. As we always say, it is not our job to get your kid into the NFL. It is our job to make them want to play again next year.
