MESSAGE FROM THE REGION BOARD OF DIRECTORS HOW TO COMPLETE YOUR REQUIRED VOLUNTEER TRAINING

Thank you for volunteering, our program does not happen without you. This is your program. The board of directors is here to provide you answers and guide you down the path to creating long lasting memories with our kids. 

First, if you signed up as an assistant coach (1) email us with whom you desire to coach with (2) even assistant coaches are required to complete all this training prior to be assigned as an assistant coach.. Thanks for being a part of the solution here at region 128.
