Coach
Coaching youth sports is vital as it promotes physical fitness, skill development, teamwork, and discipline. It builds confidence, instills values like sportsmanship and fair play, and teaches goal setting and emotional regulation. Coaches serve as mentors, fostering positive role models and contributing to a sense of community. They help children develop lifelong interests in sports, social skills, and time management abilities. Ultimately, coaching shapes well-rounded individuals, preparing them for future challenges and successes in sports and life.
Current Opportunities
Head & Assistant Basketball Coaches - WMBA Storm Basketball
Officiate
Becoming an official varies depending on the sport. Start by identifying your desired sport and connect with your Provincial Sport Organization (PSO). For instance, if you aim to referee volleyball, reach out to Volleyball Manitoba; for hockey, contact Hockey Manitoba, or for softball umpiring, get in touch with the Softball Manitoba.
