EMSA South is a volunteer run organization, parent volunteers are required to make the program a success.

Teams are coached by parent/sibling volunteers.
No experience is necessary. All we need is a willing volunteer who wants to learn how to encourage and teach our players the skills necessary. Coaching courses are available and EMSA South reimburses all of our Coaches for the cost of the coaching courses required.  If you are interested in Coaching, please select the Coach option under your Volunteer Requirement on the Registration Form and the appropriate Age Rep will be in contact with you prior to the season start.

You must also fill out a Team Official Registration every season https://emsasoccerportal.com/
