If you are interested in supporting a youth that is starting college for the first time then this is the place for you!

Summary of Position

Buckman Elementary’s 4th grade girl’s basketball team needs a volunteer coach for their winter basketball season! Play an important and supportive role for up to a dozen team members by donating a few hours a week. As a coach, you will help develop the team’s basketball and sportsmanship skills. The season runs from January to March, with eight Saturday games. Practices are held evenings, once a week for one hour (coach’s choice!) at Buckman Elementary. Experience coaching is not necessary, however a love of basketball and enthusiasm for working with children is.
