Volunteer Coaching Opportunities
Volunteer coaches are always needed for youth sports. If a parent volunteers to be the head coach, the registration fee for their child on the team will be waived. By coaching youth sports, volunteers are positively contributing to a child’s mental and physical well-being, building their confidence and teaching the valuable skills of the sport, teamwork and communication. Those interested in volunteering as a youth coach should contact the City's Athletics Division staff at 850-891-3866.
Part-time Jobs
Umpires, referees and concession workers are needed year-round for both youth and adult sports. These are part-time, paid positions through the City of Tallahassee. Motivated and energetic individuals should apply at Talgov.com/Jobs.
With more than 100 City parks, there are many ways to get involved with a variety of sports, programs and events all year. Visit Talgov.com/Parks to see a full list of offerings available through the City of Tallahassee.
