Compensation
We are trying to provide an affordable option for players to receive a quality soccer education and experience. With that being said, at this time, each season head coaches will receive a certain amount per player on their team in order to support costs of traveling and the time dedicated to your team. Assistant coaches are not expected to receive any reimbursement as we begin the formation of this club. Volunteer Coaches and Team Administrators will also not be receiving any compensation or reimbursement for time dedicated. In the future, upon sponsorships, donations and fundraising, we plan to increase coaches compensation for both head coaches and assistant coaches. We are very grateful for your understanding and continued support to the future of Jr Bolts Soccer Club and the Pius X Soccer community as a whole.
