​Youth Coach Pathway
As part of our commitment to providing opportunities for our players we have developed a pathway for our high school age players to gain experience working as assistant coaches to our younger age groups.

​Included in this pathway is an opportunity to achieve coaching diplomas from the United Soccer Coaches organization, and to make connections with employers in the youth coaching field.

Volunteer Youth Coaches
Each summer we also recruit volunteer youth coaches to support our programming. These are typically high level youth players, ages 14 and up, who have the desire to contribute to the soccer community outside of their travel team experience
.
As part of the experience we request that our volunteers fundraise on our behalf to cover some of the costs of the camp. In return we are able to provide the volunteer coaches with the following benefits:

• 2 Week work experience at the camp
  • First week assisting and learning from lead coaches
  • Second week planning and leading coaching activities for a portion of the camp (with assistance of lead coach)
• Working side by side and sharing ideas and experiences with other youth coaches from within the Uptown community.
• Exposure to the different soccer cultures represented within the Uptown Community
• Uptown Soccer Apparel
• Community Service hours (if required by school)
