Sub Coaches
Athletes love having the same coach every week. It is part of the success of the freestyle program at Silver Star Freestyle Club. But from time to time acceptable reasons apply for needing a substitute with your group.
- To ensure we have a plan around this please take a few minutes now to help identify who will be your substitute coach this season if/when needed.
- If you need time off this is a SHARED responsibility between you and the coach team.
- Please note your request on Team Snap and contact your programs head or lead coach through email [email protected].
