volunteer coaches

Donated time trainers

Volunteer coaches are people who train or mentor athletes, teams, or other groups without pay.

The term appears most often in youth sports contexts, where parents and community members donate their time: The league relies on volunteer coaches for every team.

Unlike professional coaches, volunteer coaches may have limited formal training but typically bring enthusiasm and availability.
