Interested in coaching your child?
We are ALWAYS looking for volunteers to coach in our many athletic leagues. During registration you will find a box asking you if you are interested in coaching. Please enter your name in that box during registration and we then we will have your name in our system to contact as the season begins. Already registered and you missed putting your name down? Not a problem! Just send an email to Amanda Padua at apadua@positiveplace.org or Nick Warren at nwarren@positiveplace.org and we’ll update your child’s registration. Thank you in advance!
Mutual Buddy Request System
Most athletic teams are formed via the Mutual Buddy Request system. Each child is allowed ONE buddy request per sport. In order for that buddy request to be granted that buddy must also enter your child’s name in return, otherwise the buddy request is not guaranteed. If more than one buddy request is entered only the first listed name will be taken into consideration. Please note that with every sport there is a cutoff date after which time NO buddy requests will be taken into consideration, so we highly advise that all members register early if you plan on requesting a buddy.
Sponsoring a Team
Every season we offer the ability to sponsor a sports team or a full sports league Sponsorship prices vary depending on the sport, but are available year round. If you are interested in sponsoring a team please send an email to Amanda Padua at apadua@positiveplace.org.
