Former College Athletes: Volunteer Youth Sports Coach or Official
Did you play college sports? The game still needs you.
Next Game, from The NOVA Foundation (a 501(c)(3) nonprofit), connects former college athletes with youth sports organizations in Chicago that are short on coaches and officials. Leagues across the city are turning kids away because there aren't enough adults to coach. You already know the game.
Ways to help:
- Coach a youth team for a season
- Officiate games
- Help run a free youth sports clinic
- Join a youth league's board
Who we're looking for: former college athletes of any age and any sport. No coaching experience needed, just what sport taught you.
On-site
Age
How it works: tell us your sport, your neighborhood and how much time you have, and we'll match you with a partner organization. You'll join through that organization's own volunteer process. Along the way you'll meet other former athletes in your city doing the same thing.
Free to join. Find your role: thenovafoundation.org/nextgame/connect
