Volunteer Opportunities

With the continued expansion of the Port St. Lucie Parks & Recreation Junior Basketball Program, we need Volunteer Head and Assistant Coaches, as well as Volunteer Scorekeepers, now more than ever. Nearly 900 players aged 8 to 16 participate in this year-round program.

For parents and family members of players, coaching a team is a fantastic way to spend more time with your child while they enjoy their favorite sport. Anyone passionate about basketball is encouraged to volunteer and help make this popular program successful.

Volunteer coaches must be 18 years of age or older, and scorekeepers must be 16 years of age or older. All volunteers must complete an application and undergo an FDLE Level II background clearance process.
