We are looking for a 3rd grade coach and a 5th grade coach for the current basketball season!
📣 We need volunteers ASAP!
Practices need to begin next week, and our first game is October 24th!
Our season can only happen if we have parents and volunteers willing to step up and give their time to help our young athletes. You don’t have to be a professional coach to make a difference — your time, support, and willingness to help can make this season possible for our girls! 🏀
🧡 Please note: These are unpaid positions and are strictly volunteer opportunities.
📩 Interested in coaching?
Please message our Athletic Director, Mike Redman, or email redmanr@mesick.org as soon as possible!
Let’s come together and make this season happen for our Bulldogs! 🐾
