Cary relies on volunteer coaches for youth sports leagues. Coaches must be available for weekly practice and games. Each coach is required to be certified by the National Youth Sports Coaches Association and to pass a background check. It is important that coaches teach sportsmanship as well as sports skills. Anyone interested in coaching should visit the Volunteer Youth Coach webpage or email Sports@carync.gov for more information.
