Coaches are at the heart of what we do at Grassroot Soccer (GRS). In delivering GRS’s soccer-based programs, they teach life-saving health information to adolescents in a fun and engaging way, while also providing adolescents with inspiration, mentorship, and support at a critical point in their lives. Our goal is that every GRS Coach benefits from an industry-leading development program that fosters professional and personal growth and serves as a springboard for their futures.
We aim to produce skilled, motivated, and capable Coaches who are:
Strong implementers and ambassadors of the GRS program
Role models and change agents within their communities
Further skilled and employable once they exit GRS
Ultimately, this Coach Development Program helps improve health outcomes among participants and Coaches and increase Coach employability.
