Why Coaching is important:
Coaching is extremely vital in order to build a positive youth’s development. Building a meaningful relationship between youth and a coach can impact them for the rest of their lives. Coaches can help our participants unlock their full potential and discover what is inside of them. Coaches help strengthen and provide them the tools to feel empowered. Without mentorship, the positive youth development does not happen. Our coaches have the ability to help young people set goals and reach their full potential for a successful future.
Training:
In order to coach, we provide Ambassador Coach Trainings before we begin Spring Programming. We also offer Level I First Tee trainings throughout the year. Ambassador Coaches also must complete a background check and online SafeSport Training. Our training system is built on research-proven methods of positive youth development!
