Greater Renton-Tukwila Youth Soccer Association

Application to Coach Youth Soccer

The Greater Renton-Tukwila Youth Soccer Association (GRTYSA) would like to thank you for volunteering. As a coach you will be responsible for communicating any Association and/or Club business to the parents of your players. Please fill out the application below as completely as possible. Coaches must re-apply to coach each year.

Do not let inexperience or lack of soccer knowledge deter you from volunteering. Before each season begins there will be training sessions to help you get started with the basics. What is necessary is an upbeat, positive attitude, and an ability to keep the games in their proper perspective, and soccer fun for the players. Success is measured not by your record, but by how many players come back for the following season!
