Coaches Needed

Tampa Bay United Recreational Program success is due largely to our Volunteer Coaches. Coaches are needed at all age groups. If you are interested in coaching, select Head Coach or Assistant Coach when registering on-line. A member of the staff will contact you.

All volunteer coaches must pass a National Back Ground check, complete an online Concussion Course (30 Minutes), and complete SafeSport Certification with certificate (online course sent to coach) to coach at any of TBU’s facilities. North Campus Coaches are required to complete the National Alliance for Youth Sports Training Class (nays.org). Head Coach only qualifies for Volunteer Reimbursement ($50.00) U10-U19 at end of season if the campus is charged the $50 volunteer fee.

Questions related to coaching can be directed to the Recreational Campus Directors listed at the bottom of the page.

Special requests for Coach and practice night conflict. Special requests must be placed in account during registration-no emails for special requests will be accepted.

Requests for coach or practice night conflict is not a guarantee. Payment of $50.00 will be assessed to account if member decides not to participate if special request is not met in addition to club refund policy.
