Overall Experience
Soccer Goals!!
|
I was a volunteer coach for a ten and eleven year old girls soccer team. Provo Parks and Recreation was very accomodating. They provided the soccer balls and cones for practice. The soccer referee was always on time and fair. A packet of information including a rule book, schedule, roster, and practice ideas was provided.
The Recreation department was so supportive that it made it easy to coach. I didn't have to worry about the details and so could focus my efforts on the team. I enjoyed getting to know the girls as their coach and friend. I learned a lot about soccer, team sports, and good sportsmanship. I will definitely volunteer with the Provo Parks and Rec in the near future!
