Parents - Volunteer to Coach a Team!
BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING FOR YOUTH SPORTS AT CtRCC/S
- Christ the Redeemer cannot offer youth sports without you!
We need you! All of our coaches are volunteer-approved parents. As a coach you will have the entire CtR family behind you for support along with coaching clinics and our Positive Coaching online classes.
- You’ll get to spend more time with your child!
Your child might only be 4 years old now, but there will come a time that he/she will naturally start to spend more time with friends and teammates and less time hanging out with mom and dad. Coaching his or her team is a wonderful way to keep a strong connection.
- You’ll expand your social network!
Let’s face it, it’s not always easy for busy adults to make new friends, but getting involved in our kids’ teams can be an introduction to like-minded families who value physical activity and sometimes life-long bonds are forged.
- You’ll come away with a sense of pride and accomplishment!
Goals don’t always need to be that huge … shooting for the goal or hitting the ball for the first time can be just as rewarding as scoring a goal or hitting a home run to a player and to a coach who has worked tirelessly on helping that player reach that milestone.
- You’ll have fun!
The #1 reason kids play a sport is because it’s fun, and honestly, so is coaching. Remember, kids stop playing sports when they stop having fun.For more information on how to become a coach, please email Daniel Richardson at youthsports@ctrschool.com.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sports are offered through CtR WHCSA?
Fall Soccer (Sept.-Nov.) Pre K-4th, Winter Basketball (Jan.-March) K-4th, and Spring Tee-Ball (March-May) Pre K-4th, are planned for the 2019-20 school year.
How do I register my child?
Please see the registration dates in the above table. On the opening dates, the registration link will be activated on the specific youth sport web page. All registrations must go through this portal. If you have any technical issues with the link, please contact Andrea Leach at andrea.leach@ctrschool.com.
Is there a registration fee or cost?
The total cost varies per sport. Soccer: $155 per participant, Basketball: $215 and Baseball: $150. All registration fees are non-refundable. League fees, uniform orders, and team formation begin as soon as registration closes in order to have our teams scheduled and suited up for first games. We appreciate your understanding and support.
What does the registration fee provide for students?
For 2019-20, Christ the Redeemer will provide jersey and socks for soccer. Parents will need to provide shin guards and cleats (not required). For basketball, team jersey and short will be provided. Parents can purchase court shoes (not required).
For tee-ball/baseball jerseys and caps will be provided. Parents are responsible for pants, socks, belt, batting helmet, and if desired a league-approved bat.How are teams selected and how many students are on a team?
Once registration is closed, the Program Coordinator will form teams. Minimums per team vary by sport.
What if there aren't enough students or coaches for a team?
If we do not have enough participants register, we will cancel the registrations and give full refunds.How often are practices and when are the games?
Teams will practice once a week for 30-45 minutes. Games are once a week on the weekend, typically Saturday. A schedule will be released soon after registration ends and at least one week before games start.
Can I request a specific coach, team, or practice time?
We cannot guarantee requested coaches, teams or practice times. In the comment section of the registration form, you may request a friend to have on your team. We will do our best this season to accommodate friend requests. As the program grows, these requests will be phased out.
Who coaches the teams?
All teams are coached by parent volunteers from the school and church. Please consider signing up to coach when you register your child. All volunteer coaches must be Safe Environment trained. ( Safe Environment online training educates clergy, staff and volunteers who work with children about child sexual abuse and the ways to create safe environments for children.).
