[quote=Anonymous]Can you volunteer to be an assistant coach, OP?  Many parents may be hesitant to volunteer as a coach if they have no experience with soccer or with rec coaching, or if they are generally busy with other commitments.  But they might be more inclined to volunteer if they know they can split the burden with one or more other parents.

You can still do some of the coaching (which is really just supervising at young ages) when your schedule permits (for example, the evenings and days you will be bringing your child to the practice or game anyway).

From past experience, I have observed that it's often the same parents who are coaching their kids' teams across multiple sports (even when the parent has no particular experience with some of those sports).  My DH is one of them.  There are also families who never volunteer.  Some of them are truly not in a position to do so, and I think everyone understands that.  But there are other parents who always show up for practices and games and it never seems to occur to them that they could help in some way (even on an ad-hoc basis).  Some non-coaching parents, on the other hand, are awesome and help out as needed at practices and games.  The volunteer coaches love those parents![/quote]
