Volunteer Coach & Trainer Information
The success of the Fusion Development Program is dependent upon volunteer parent coaches who assist our Fusion trainers in training sessions and coach their team on game day.
Fusion Trainers conduct all training sessions, providing quality instruction and teaching to all players, as well as mentoring parent volunteer coaches.
Parent Volunteer Coaches assist during training sessions and coach games.
Session plans are provided as well as all coaching equipment.
If you are able to assist in any way, please check the 'volunteer to coach' box in your child’s registration.

Play-With Requests
All players of the same birth year have sessions at the same location and time so your child will see their friends regardless if they are on the same team. Each child may have ONE friend play-with request. The request must be reciprocal - your child and their play-with request must enter each other's names in the registration. If you enter more than one name, only the FIRST play-with will be honored. Coach requests are not allowed.
