Become a Coach or Assistant Coach

East London Soccer Club is accepting coaching and assistant coach applications the upcoming 2025 outdoor season.

Never coached before? We get it—it can seem intimidating at first. Becoming a soccer coach is a rewarding experience that keeps volunteers coming back season after season. Each team is assigned a coach and an assistant coach. Before the season starts, we offer a free 1-hour training session through our Coaches Clinic, designed to prepare you for the season ahead by equipping you with coaching techniques and addressing commonly asked questions.
