Community
Looking for a way to get outside and make an impact this summer?
Owen Sound Minor Soccer is calling on community members to help make the season possible by volunteering as a coach.
With a dozen roles still open, the program needs caring adults to help guide local kids through a summer of teamwork, movement, and play.
Experience isn’t required, just a willingness to show up. Support and training are available for anyone new to the role.
If you're interested in getting involved, email coaches@owensoundminorsoccer.ca to connect. (And even if you’re not, please feel free to pass on to someone who may be a good fit.)
