Job Summary:
Join Franklin County Sports Club (FCSC) as a Volunteer Coach for the MLS Go program! This is your chance to be part of Major League Soccer’s official recreational path right here in our community.

- Team Environment: Maintain a safe, welcoming, and high-energy environment for all players and families.
- Club Connection: Communicate with parents regarding schedules and model FCSC’s core values on and off the pitch.
- Logistics: Assist with equipment setup, player check-ins, and session organization.
Qualifications:
- Passion over Pedigree: A strong interest in youth development and soccer. Prior coaching or playing experience is a plus, but a positive attitude is a requirement.
- Reliability: Ability to commit to practice schedules and weekend games.
- Communication: Strong interpersonal skills to engage with both 6-year-olds and their parents.
- Compliance: Must pass a standard background screening and complete SafeSport training (standard for all youth sports).
