Throughout the year, Lakewood Youth Sports organizes coached teams and league play in youth baseball, softball, flag football, basketball and volleytennis.
Volunteer coaches help make these programs possible and continue a Lakewood tradition dating back to 1957, when volunteers helped support the city’s early park programs.
Coaches are especially needed for baseball, softball and t-ball teams during the summer season at Lakewood parks.
Parents and guardians of players make great coaches, but it is not necessary to have a child in the program to volunteer. No coaching experience is required. City staff provide training and support.
For details about becoming a volunteer coach, ask at any Lakewood park or contact Recreation and Community Services at AccessRecreation@lakewoodca.gov or call 562-866-9771, ext. 2408.
