Coaches, Assistants and Trainers Always Needed

NKSC is a volunteer organization that is always looking for skilled soccer coaches who wish to give back to our players and the community.

WE ALWAYS NEED COACHES.

Please help to ensure players have the training opportunities needed to advance their skills for high school or higher competition levels by becoming a NK Select Coach.

Minimum WSYSA "E" license preferred but coaching experience and a willingness to become a better coach and help players grow in soccer and in life is also a plus.

If you are a coach wanting more opportunities to help develop a team, players, and your own skills please consider coaching or being an assistant coach or trainer for a NK Select team.

Contact the
NK Select Coaching Director, to volunteer or for more information.
