Womens' Coaching Workshop: Whistles & Wisdom

Female Coaches Make a Difference!

Do you want to be involved in your child’s sports team but feel like you don’t know where to start? You don’t have to be an expert to make a difference! You bring leadership, perspective, encouragement, and a powerful example to young athletes. 

Join us for Whistles and Wisdom: Women Shaping Youth Sports, a welcoming free coaching workshop hosted by Maine Recreation and Parks Association’s Youth Sports Committee at Harrison Middle School in Yarmouth. Whether you’re a team helper, first-time coach, or experienced coach, you’ll gain practical tools and confidence to help young athletes thrive in sports. Female coaches matter.
No experience necessary. Come learn with us!
