Families will be responsible for purchasing shorts, socks, shin guards, and cleats. Shorts and socks can be purchased from the Union KC Fan Shop.

Coaching

The volunteer coach will be responsible for communicating with their team weekly. Their main responsibility will be running training sessions and games. A good coach has the ability to communicate ideas to their players in a way that the players understand and can execute. If you enjoy working with kids this is a great opportunity to give back to the community.

Coach Education Opportunities

The coaches will receive weekly emails from the Program Director with explanations of the activities and main focus. They will also have the opportunity to attend coach education sessions to help them feel more comfortable with their team.

Team Manager

To help the coach, the team manager will be responsible for keeping PlayMetrics up to date, finding a game facilitator and organizing a snack rotation.
