VOLUNTEER COACH
We are always looking to expand our coaching pool in every program. Volunteer Coaches are defined by their desired involvement as either short-term coaches or long-term coaches. A short-term coach is one who plans to participate in a single training event, such as a camp or clinic. A long-term coach is one who desires to remain engaged with a particular program for a longer period of time, such as coaching a team, or multiple camps or clinics in one or more calendar years. A long-term coach may also desire to initiate a new training segment in a particular program.
​
Unfortunately, it is very difficult for us to offer short-term coaching opportunities in sports that do not currently have full or part-time Program Directors. See below if you are interested in becoming a Program Director.
The process for becoming a Reality Sports volunteer coach is as follows:
-
Complete a short-term or long-term coaching application.
-
Complete a thorough background check.
-
Complete our online Child Abuse Prevention System training.
-
Complete the Reality Sports Equip 101 introduction to Reality Sports online training module.
For more information or to begin the volunteer coach process, please contact the Program Director in charge of the program in which you would like to serve:
-
Baseball Tim Kuykendall
-
Strength & Conditioning (Athletics Strength & Conditioning Program) - Kathryn Burke
-
Tennis - Damon DeLapp
-
Volleyball - Pam King
-
Wrestling - Matt Voss

PROGRAM DIRECTOR
(Sports Missionary)
By far the greatest need we have in expanding the ministry of Reality Sports to "turn the world upside down" is that of new Program Directors. Program Directors, who are appropriately considered missionaries to their unique sport context, are the lifeblood for providing opportunity for a particular sport culture to meet and become disciples of Jesus Christ.
​
There are still a number of important, untapped, mainstream sports that need full-time Program Directors. And there is virtually unlimited opportunity for expansion of all sports in our community and beyond, even "to the ends of the earth", where sport is an international language and many people do not know Jesus.
If you feel like you may be called to full-time sports missionary work, or you are at all interested in what that may look like for you and your family, we would love to talk to you. We are very far along in the process of developing a missionary training institute and have a phenomenal training ground for cultivating your call. If this is something you are interested in pursuing, or would like more information, please contact:
