How to Volunteer with Us

Coaches and Program Assistants are always needed for every program . We have two ways for you to get involved :
COACHES : If lack of experience is preventing you from getting involved , we can help . Prior to any league season , our professional staff will coordinate a coaches training session for all coaches , returning and new alike . Our staff will develop packets for each coach including league rules , mock practice plans , and any other pertinent information to that specific league / program . Once the coach ’ s training session is completed , all coaches will qualify for our Coaches Reward Program . We feel that all of our coaches deserve a little more in return for their time and efforts than just a hand shake and thank you . Please contact your Program Supervisor for more information .
PROGRAM ASSISTANTS : Are you looking for leadership opportunities , a way to increase your volunteer hours for school , or build your resume ? Becoming a Volunteer Program Assistant could be just for you ! Potential Program Assistants who sign up will be trained in leadership , customer service , and program and event management by our staff at The Lake Forest Recreation Department . After two classroom training sessions , you will be able to jump on the field and / or court to work with our staff to help manage programs . Participants will be contacted after signing up with classroom dates / times and the program curriculum . There is no cost associated with this program and it is a great way for you to get your foot in the door ! Please contact Anthony Anaszewicz , Athletics Program Manager , at 847.810.3945 for more details .
NOTE : All staff related disciplinary policies , rules , and regulations apply to any volunteer coaches and / or assistants during the time of the program / league they are involved in .
