The North Star FC Recreational Program is coached by volunteer coaches looking to positively impact a child\u2019s life. <\/span><\/p>\n The rec program will have roughly 1500 players per season, and we are only able to service these players with volunteer coaches.<\/span><\/p>\n The club will provide age-appropriate manuals and lesson plans; in addition, there is ongoing support for all grades from the North Star FC Directors of Coaching. No formal education is required, but it is recommended. <\/span><\/p>\n We encourage current North Star FC players, non-parents and parents of players to become involved in this program. This is a volunteer position. Total time commitment varies based on the grade you are coaching.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default”
