All parents are encouraged to volunteer as a Head Coach, Assistant Coach, Team Manager, practice/game helper or party organizer.  If your team already has a head coach please ask the coach what you can do to help the team.  Each volunteer coach and parent must fulfill their Archdiocese obligation by being compliant with the following guidelines; otherwise they will not be allowed to help on the team:
