Are you looking for coaches and other volunteers this year?

Great question! And absolutely!
We are always in need of coaches, team parents and other volunteers to help with the concession stand at games, fundraising and lots of other activities.

ALL COACHES and assistant coaches are required to have, and display during games, a valid Chesterfield County Volunteer Eligibility Card. This certifies that they have passed a background check by the Chesterfield County Police Dept. For More information: Background Checks (click link)

We're also looking for junior coaches! So if you know of a teenager who'd like to assist with coaching our football teams, we could definitely use their assistance! And it's a great way for them to earn volunteer hours!

So please let us know if you would like to help! PAA is a volunteer organization, and we definitely need all of our parents to participate and assist in order to be successful.
