	Mentor Coaching Program SAC is now accepting applicants for the Recreational Mentor Coaching Program for the Spring 2019 season. Players aged 16 or older are eligible to coach one of SAC’s Recreational teams. This is a great way to fulfill service hour requirements, build experience and teach young players soccer. The commitment for this program is a one hour practice during the week, at a time and location of your choosing, and a game each Saturday for the 8 weeks of the season (starting April 6). We recommend pairing up with a friend (two coaches), but it is not required. If interested, please contact cblackburncoo@sachc.org.
