Plainfield Optimist Soccer provides recreational programs for children starting at age 4; and competitive and semi-competitive programs for up to age 19. The club is 100% volunteer-run and designed to help the development of children’s athleticism, social skills, and enjoyment of the game. The program also helps promote health, fitness, and fair play - all in a positive, safe, and fun environment.

Coaching

There has never been a more exciting time to get involved in children’s soccer. Our league could not exist without the help of all our volunteer coaches. They are critical to the growth and success of the program. Furthermore, they are the primary influence for every child's skill development and enjoyment of the game. 

We understand that some parents are volunteering and have never coached, played, or know anything about soccer. Don't worry! We will provide guidance along the way and have online resources available at your convenience. The most important thing is to ensure that our children are able to run around and have fun at a safe environment.

 if you are interested please check the appropriate box in the registration process. If you have already completed your child's registration and have now decided to volunteer, you may reach out to us at plainfieldoptsoccer@gmail.com

You will need to have a Background check completed prior to coaching.  Your Coordinator will contact you with information for completing your background check.
