A season, or one clinic In person Volunteer, unpaid

Help athletes learn, practice, and enjoy their sport. Bring your coaching experience and work with us on the session, equipment, and participant needs.

The work

  • Coaching sessions or clinics, in whatever sport you know.
  • Adapting your own drills, which you will be better at than you expect.
  • Treating each participant as an athlete with their own goals.

Your first month

  • Arrange a session to observe after any required checks are complete.
  • Discuss a suitable session, participant needs, and required qualifications with us.

Who it suits

  • You have coached anything at any level. Youth rec counts.
  • You are patient with equipment. Chairs and straps take time and the session absorbs that.

You do not need adaptive sport experience. Two of our board members started exactly here.

Not this

  • Physical therapy or medical care. You are coaching sport.
  • A whole season unless you want one.

Good coaching gives athletes room to learn and grow.

Adapt To Life expands access to adaptive sports so athletes can find their place. We bring people and opportunities together and build the support around participation. Read our story
