New traveling teams will be formed after tryouts for the upcoming U8 age group. (And possibly for older age groups, if there are sufficient registrants to form additional teams.)
If you are interested in being considered for a head and/or assistant coaching position for a new or current SWSA traveling team, please complete the coaching resume application.
If you are currently a coach of a SWSA travel team, in your preferred role, you do NOT need to fill out this form again for that team.
A coach of current team would only fill out the form again if you would like to be considered for coaching in another age group or if you are looking for a different coaching role on your current team.
The form is now closed for the upcoming Fall 2024 - Spring 2025 soccer season. A board member will reach out in regards to coaching opportunities based on the tryout evaluations.
