But are they really helping my kid? Again they are volunteers and for the most part not having to pay for their child to play.

Rec coaches and managers are volunteers.

God forbid you show the tiniest bit of appreciation for what they do for your kid.

No individual gifts. Group gifts for volunteers. GCs are fine with a card signed by all players (or as many as possible). Small group gift for paid coaches like a signed team photo.
