Coaching with NorthStar
NorthStar offers a variety of volunteer opportunities, from coaching and assistant coaching to program support. Consistent, faithful coaches play a vital role in our ministry. Showing up week after week builds trust, stability, and growth in the lives of our players far beyond the field. We are committed to providing opportunities for youth without barriers, believing that every child deserves access to play, belonging, and mentorship regardless of circumstance. Volunteers help make this possible, and your presence truly makes a lasting impact.
Volunteer Opportunities
Coaching Needs
Club: We’re forming multiple U12 boys’ and girls’ teams, along with a few older teams with practices running from 6pm-7:30pm.
Intramural: We’re seeking volunteers for our elementary-age program with evening (5:30–6:45) and after-school (3:00–4:15) options. Teams typically practice twice a week and play seven Saturday morning games. Full commitments are preferred, but shared coaching is available. Soccer experience is helpful, not required. We provide training and practice plans for all coaches.
Mentors
Leading devotionals can be sometimes be difficult for the head coach. We are looking for volunteers to serve as mentors, leading devotionals and assisting with discipline issues, help keep coaches focused on soccer. Soccer experience is not required for mentors and they are needed for all teams at all levels
Van Drivers
At NorthStar, our aim is to provide accessible programming for youth, regardless of their situation. We serve families across Birmingham, and for some players, transportation can be a barrier to participation. When resources allow, we are committed to helping provide transportation so every child has the opportunity to play. We are always looking for volunteers willing to help make this possible.
