Coaching and Volunteering

Are you interested in volunteering with one of our recreation programs? We accept volunteer coaches for our soccer, tee ball and baseball programs. We'll do all the work in advertising, collecting registration fees and setting up for classes.

Become a volunteer or coach

If you'd like to become a volunteer or coach, please contact us. View our current volunteer opportunities. 

Before you can coach or volunteer with one of our recreation programs, you will need to complete a Vulnerable Sector Check if you're interacting with youth. You must also obtain a letter from the municipality to include with your VSC application.

What is it?
The Vulnerable Sector Check (VSC) screens those working or volunteering with vulnerable persons. A vulnerable person is someone who is:

• in a position of dependence on others
• at a greater risk than the general population of being harmed by a person in a position of authority or trust due to their age, a disability or other circumstances (temporary or permanent)

Please visit the Ontario Provincial Police website to complete your VSC application online, which is processed free of charge for volunteers. 

Volunteer honorariums

As a volunteer program instructor, you'll be paid an honorarium. Coaches do not receive honorariums.

What we provide

The Municipality of Greenstone will provide the following services for all soccer, tee ball and baseball programs:

• Advertising and registration
• Coaching manuals with practice plans and drills
• Equipment
• Season end barbecue
