Want to be a Coach?

πŸ’™ Albion Juniors is a non-profit organization that relies heavily on volunteer coaches to help create a fun, positive, and successful experience for our players. Thanks to the amazing parents and volunteers who give their time each season, Albion Juniors has become one of the top recreational youth soccer programs in our community.

🌟 The coach plays a huge role in helping children fall in love with the game, build confidence, learn teamwork, and create positive habits both on and off the field.

πŸ™Œ You do NOT need to be a soccer expert to coach. We provide a formal curriculum, training resources, and support throughout the season. In many cases, being patient, encouraging, organized, and positive matters even more than soccer experience.

πŸ‘ If you care about kids, enjoy teaching, and want to give back to the community, you are qualified to coach.
