Coaches Corner
St. Mary’s Youth Soccer (SMYS) is always looking for volunteer coaches for its programs.  For the Recreation program, no experience is required, just your enthusiasm to help out SMYS and its players.  We have training available and will assist you in any way we can.  Please E-Mail us to volunteer or ask questions.
Coaches Background Checks

Recreation and Parks requires us to have background checks perfomed on our coaches.  The checks last for one year or until the end of the Spring outdoor season.  All coaches must reapply before each Fall season.  Recreation and Parks background check forms can now be completed online via a secure website, this saves SMYS volunteers many hours.  Click the graphic below to submit your background check form online.

For more information on the COMMUNITY STANDARDS IN YOUTH SPORTS program and the backgroud check requirement, go to the Receration and Parks website We prefer you to submit your background check online, if you need to mail it in, the form is available on the COMMUNITY STANDARDS IN YOUTH SPORTS website.  Mail to:
