SPR Youth Sports Programs rely on volunteer coaches. To start the Recreation Basketball season on time, SPR needs a coach in place for every team before any team practice or game schedule can be made available. With every program we run, we offer coaching assistance through practice plans, video and web-based instruction to even having full time staff provide assistance. We will offer a program credit to volunteers who step up as head coach. There are options to sign up to volunteer as a coach through your child's registration process. Thank you in advance for supporting our programs! Our coaches are what make our programs a success and without your help, our programs would not be possible. If you have additional questions about coaching, please contact Steve Brown at sbrown@sacomaine.org.
