Our head coaches lead their teams in practices, drills and games to teach the basics of soccer and enjoyment of the exciting game.  They support positive coaching values, provide the opportunity for skill improvement for kids of varied abilities, and encourage good sportsmanship, FUN and a love of the game. Most volunteer coaches are parents of a child on the team. Some knowledge of soccer or previous coaching experience is desirable. Horsham Soccer provides an orientation, coaching clinics, coaching materials, support and advice. Coaches must pass a background check and complete a 30-minute concussion awareness video. Depending on the age group, a coach should expect to spend 2-3 hours a week during the season. Coaches would consult the IM (Intramural) age group coordinator with any issues.

The assistant coach supports the head coach at practices and games throughout the season and fills in for the coach as needed. The coach may request additional general assistance from other parents on the team as needed throughout the season. Assistant coaches must pass a background check and complete a 30-minute concussion awareness video. Depending on the age group an assistant coach should expect to spend 2-3 hours a week during the season.

Volunteers help by weekly painting the boundary lines on a field using a walk behind liner, by setting up and taking down the goals and flags before the first game and after the last game. Ideal candidates have transportation and can line satellite sites such as Carpenter and Cedar Hill parks. Field lining is ideally done between Thursday afternoon and either Friday night or Saturday morning. Field maintenance typically takes less than 1 hour per week. Note: teams will be assigned maintenance responsibilities; however there's the need for additional help in setting up the fields, tournaments and special events.
