How old do u have to be to assistant coach a volleyball team?

Question

If me and my friend wanted to assistant coach a beginner volleyball team how old would we have to be? the kids we would be coaching are like 5 or 6.

Answer 1

If you're coaching 5 or 6 year olds...and you are just assistants, I would say you should be at least 16 years old with some experience working with kids.  There is no "law" that I know of that sets an age limit.

Answer 2

It would really depend on the organization.  I have seen 13 year olds working with 5 and 6 years olds.  The more help you have with that age, the better.  If you are talking about paid assistant coaching positions, you will probably have to wait until 16.  Some organizations might work out a reduction in your fees in you help coaching.

Good luck.  Coaching can be a lot of fun.
