I Want to Coach

Coaches are the heartbeat of Weyburn Soccer. Whether you are a parent volunteer, a former player, a student, or someone passionate about helping young people grow through sport, we would love to hear from you.

You do not need prior coaching experience to get started — just a positive attitude, a willingness to learn, and a desire to create a great experience for players.
