Volunteering/ Coaching

We are actively looking for volunteers for the positions of Head Coach and Assistant Coach for NFL Flag Football, as well Youth Fall Soccer League. You do not need to be a member of the Y to be a volunteer, but you are required to submit to a background check. This goes a long way to ensuring proper coaching, and to develop teamwork skills for all of our children.

We are very thankful for your interest in YMCA programs, and we look forward to you joining us as we continue to build strong communities in our area. If you have any questions contact, Program Director Chris Switzer, Lakewood YMCA @ 216-521-8400, or by e-mail @ cswitzer@clevelandymca.org
