Montgomery County Recreation is so thankful for the service of our volunteers, who help ensure our programs run smoothly! Their efforts make an incredibly positive impact on the players they work with. Parents, we encourage you to be more than spectators, by contributing your time as a volunteer coach, as well as being your child’s greatest fan.
As a coach, you'll be setting examples that will stick with children for the rest of their lives. You have an obligation and responsibility to teach them the right things - in football and life.

We need adult volunteers to coach flag football for children and youth ages 6-17. We prefer volunteers with knowledge of flag football rules who demonstrate good character, patience and have a desire to help children and youth learn.
