Bend Parks seeks volunteer lacrosse coaches

Volunteers must enjoy working with kids and be able to create a positive, encouraging recreational environment for all players.
The lacrosse season runs March 30 th to May 29 th . Teams practice and play games twice-a-week in the afternoon/evening during the nine-week season. Coaches volunteer approximately five hours per week. Program enrollment is at an all-time record high, with over 600 youth participating. Several teams are in need of volunteer coaches.
Training and season long support is provided. Volunteer coaches must attend a pre-season volunteer orientation/training. Safety is a top priority, so all coaches must complete a volunteer application and criminal history background check as well as online concussion awareness training.
