How To: Volunteer to Help a Youth Team or After School Program in Your Town
Love to play soccer? Or just love to play with kids? Then this is the thing for you. Feel great about yourself while helping some kids get exercise!
- Pick your sport. So many options… t-ball, basketball, soccer… Figure out what you want to be doing first.
- Find nearby teams or organizations.Contact coaches and schools to see what sports are offered for kids in your town. Maybe there is an intramural soccer team that you could assistant coach, or maybe there is an after-school program in the gym you can help out with. See what your options are and compare them to what activities you decided you wanted to do in step 1.
- Pick up the phone.Figure out how you can contact the heads of these programs or coaches. Ask them if they need help, and tell them what you are doing and why you want to do it.
- Ask to see if you need to be certified to work with kids. They may want you to know CPR or other things like that. Also, ask if there is any paperwork that you may have to fill out. There may be liability stuff you will have to deal with, so ask tons of questions. Better safe than sorry.
- Figure out some fun activities.Ask the coach first, but maybe you can liven up a practice by showing the kids new drills or quick, fun games in addition to regular practice. If you’re helping out at an after school program, see what kind of equipment you have available, and come up with a fun new game to get the kids excited.
- Have fun!Get out there with the kids and show them how much fun they can have while getting exercise. The healthier they are, the better you will feel about your work – and don’t forget, you’re getting exercise too!

My mother works at the local recreation center and every summer I help out with the kids and become a camp counselor for them. I love it! It makes me feel so good to help out kids and put smiles on their faces!
I help volunteer in my town Recreational programs! Soccer, Softball, and Basketball!! Plus I help teach P.E. for middle schoolers. It's a lot of fun, plus it makes me smile when I see them grow up and become good student-athletes.
I volunteer at my town's middle school and help their Winter guard team.
I assisted in choreographing their routine this year.
They have performed in their school talent show and at their school pep rally and are a huge crowd pleaser.
It's an only girls team now but we are trying to get some boys to join. The more the merrier!
I am going to start volunteering with a t-ball league near my home town so that i can help be a good role model and help support kids so that they can understand that i can't is not a word! But that I will try is!
I am going to help out with 2 elementary age basketball camps this summer at my high school with other high school athletes.
I've been helping my town's youth session of the swim team with their stroke and given them tips on how to do starts, work on stream line, and flip turns. I've also helped some of the kids who have never swam in their life learn the strokes. Some of them are excellent natural swimmers. Others need a little work but they do have potential which is all that's needed! i look forward to seeing how they progress and watching them drop time. It will be fun also to cheer them on during their races because they always get so excited when they know they're being cheered for :)

I am 18 and a senior in high school, so I do not have the time during the day to help others stay active and fit. However, I make time to help out those who want encouragement while exercising. I wake up at 4:45 every morning during the week and go to my local fitness center to help elderly people exercise because it is hard for them to push themselves to remain healthy so I want to be there for them. I head to school at 7:30 and get off at 3 o'clock. After school, I head back to the fitness center to encourage children as well as those older than me to exercise and that by doing it, they are only helping themselves.
