General Info
Coaching can be one of the most rewarding parts of your day. Whether you are new or experienced, the HSC is here to support you and help you make a difference in our young player's lives.

​
HOUSE LEAGUE COACHES
​
Each year the HSC requires an enthusiastic group of volunteers to help ensure all our players have a chance to play. Whether you are an adult or student needing volunteer hours, this is a great opportunity to spend just 10 weeks playing soccer with a group of community kids.
​
Unsure you are knowledgeable enough to coach soccer? As a House League coach our experienced coaches will support you, and with the resources below all that's left to do is be fun!
​
Also, at the start of every season, we invite all HL coaches to the field for an in person, practical session to answer any questions you may have.
​
If interested in helping out, please contact our Club Administrator
