🚨 TWO REC TEAMS STILL NEED A COACH! 🚨

Practices begin this week, and we still need volunteer coaches for:

⚽ U12 Girls
⚽ U14 Coed

These players are registered, excited, and ready to get on the field—they just need someone willing to step up and lead them!

No coaching experience is required. Whether you’re a parent, former player, high school player, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, we would love to have you.

If you can help give one of these teams the season they’re waiting for, please reach out to us as soon as possible! 💙💚 We are thrilled to have a high volume of players registered, but that also means we need more volunteers willing to step up! Thank you in advance for helping us get every team on the field this season!!!

IMPORTANT REC ROSTER REMINDER ⚽

Our staff is currently receiving an extremely high volume of Facebook messages, emails, and individual placement requests as teams are being finalized.

Please remember that coach, team, and teammate requests are considered but are never guaranteed—regardless of age group. With the sheer number of registrations and special requests received this season, we simply cannot honor them all.

At this stage, repeatedly messaging or emailing the club—or contacting multiple staff members about the same request—will not change a player’s placement. Duplicate messages also make it more difficult for our small team to respond to families who need assistance with time-sensitive registration matters.

We have worked hard to accommodate requests wherever possible, but rosters must ultimately be created based on the needs of the entire program.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we finalize teams and prepare for the season!

Also looking to fill final head coach positions! We are so close:

-U6 needs 2
-U8 G needs 1
-U8 B needs 1
-U12 G needs 1
-u12 B needs 1
-U14 coed needs 1

REC COACH UPDATE! ⚽📣

Okayyyy, y’all have been showing up 🙌 We’ve made some serious progress since our last post, but we’re not quite there yet!

We’re down to just 12 head coaches needed to get these teams covered for the fall season:

COACHES STILL NEEDED:

U6 — 3
U8 Boys — 2
U10 Boys — 1 👀
U12 Girls — 2
U12 Boys — 2
U14 Coed — 2

That’s it. TWELVE PEOPLE. Somewhere out there are 12 parents, grandparents, siblings, former players, or brave volunteers who are about to save the day. 😂🫵⚽

You don’t have to be a soccer expert. You just need to be willing to show up, encourage the kids, and help give them a fun season.

And if you’re already signed up as an assistant coach and have been thinking “I could probably do this…” — YES. Yes, you can. This is your sign. 😂🔥

Our teams are forming and the season is almost here, so we need you like…actually yesterday🙃

Interested? Reach out to coach today — and please tag that friend you know would be great at it. We’re so close! ⚽💙
