Volunteer Coaching Opportunities
Volunteer coaches are greatly needed for youth baseball and softball. If a parent volunteers to coach, the registration fee for their child on the team will be waived. By coaching youth sports, volunteers are positively contributing to a child's mental and physical wellbeing, building their confidence and teaching the valuable skills of the sport, teamwork and communication. Those interested in volunteering as a youth baseball or softball coach should contact the City's Athletics Division staff at 850-891-3866.

Part-time Athletics Jobs
Officials, referees and concession stand staff are also needed year-round for both youth and adult sports. These are paid, part-time positions through the City of Tallahassee. Motivated and energetic individuals interested in applying should contact 850-891-3866.

There are several ways to get involved with a variety of sports, programs and events all year. Visit Talgov.com/Parks to see a full list of offerings available through the City of Tallahassee.
