Coaches
Sports provide great opportunities for children to develop
positive character traits, like teamwork and responsibility.
Think Detroit PAL's philosophy is to recruit and train "double-goal"
coaches. Our coaches focus on the effort and conduct of the
players rather than the result of the game. Think Detroit PAL
coaches teach children to play fair, play hard, and be a winner,
regardless of the score. There are generally 1-2 games per week
(evenings and Saturdays) and teams usually practice 2-3 times
a week. Expect to commit 6-8 hours per week for 10-12 weeks
as a coach.
Team
Managers
The team manager
is the glue that holds the team together. The team manager updates
players' parents regarding the game schedule and practice schedule;
keeps an accurate roster for the team; helps disseminate any
information that the league may have for parents; and helps
coordinate practice days, times, and locations with the coach(es).
The teams with the highest levels of player enjoyment and parent
satisfaction are the teams with reliable and organized managers.
Expect to spend about 6 hours per week for 10-12 weeks as a
team manager.

Special
Events Coordinator
A special events coordinator
is someone who enjoys working with groups to plan and run special
events such as awards ceremonies. A special events coordinator
must work with other volunteers and Think Detroit PAL staff to
locate, design, and decorate an acceptable site for the event;
plan the agenda and menu; identify and recruit guest speakers;
and assist in hosting the event. Expect to commit 12-20 hours
during a six-week time span as a special events coordinator.
Office
Opportunities
Think Detroit PAL offers
many other opportunities to volunteer including scorekeeping at
games, data entry, clerical work, field clean-up, and game day
preparation to name a few. Quality help is always appreciated
so give us a call today to find out how you can get involved!
