INterested in coaching?
If you have a passion for soccer and are dedicated to helping young players develop their talent in competitive leagues, we want to hear from you!
The formation of competitive teams starts with an interested coach.
CVSJ provides coaches with assistance in player recruitment, but it is the coach's responsibility to ensure that the team meets the minimum roster size, which is 10 for 7v7, 12 for 9v9, and 14 for 11v11 games.
Teams participate in a competitive league, which comprises regionally based divisions for Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Copper-level teams.
The coaches serve voluntarily and can coach either a single season or both seasons.
Before the second season of play, coaches must complete the Grassroots Coach Education course for their level of play.
