Becoming a Volunteer House League Coach

Becoming a Volunteer House League Coach - 

Have You Considered Coaching Youth House League Soccer?

Did you know that all OSC House League coaches are volunteers and no formal soccer or coaching experience is necessary? All volunteer coaches require to get involved is a positive attitude, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn! 

As a volunteer at OSC you are provided with a coach’s tool kit that will ensure that you, along with your team, have a soccer season that is both fun and enjoyable! OSC is proud to provide free Coach Education Workshops as well as communication templates, warm-ups, and many more valuable resources to ensure your coaching experience is as enjoyable as possible. 

How to Become a Coach

  • All coaches must complete the Volunteer Coach Application Form to begin the process to become a House League Coach. 
  • Coaches must be 15 years of age or older, and a minimum 3 years older than the age group they are coaching.
  • Any coach under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian at all times (the guardian’s information must be listed on the application form).

    A current Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) is required for coaches who are 18 years of age or older. Once you have provided the original copy of your Vulnerable Sector Check to OSC, you will be reimbursed for the full cost. The Vulnerable Sector Check is good for two years and must valid up until the end of the season (i.e. the VSC can’t expire in March if the season you are coaching goes until April) . 

Coaches automatically have their child placed on their on their team and get one additional player request. If the coach assistant/co-coach has a child, that child will be the additional player request.
