Volunteer Coaches Wanted

All City of Henderson youth sports leagues rely solely on volunteer coaches. Each volunteer is required to be certified through the National Alliance of Youth Sports (NAYS) and complete a background check. The certification and background checks are provided by the City of Henderson.

Show your community support by coaching Henderson's young athletes. If you are proficient in any sport or are willing to learn, donating three to five hours of your time each week is all that is needed. For more information, call 702-267-5717.

The purpose of player ratings is to rate the skills of each player in order to put together competitive and balanced teams. Though it is not required for participants to go to player ratings, it is highly recommended so that teams can be as balanced as possible.

Player ratings are held each season over two days. Players should attend only one date.

Teams are allowed to practice twice per week before the first game. Following the first game, teams are allowed one practice per week. Each practice is limited to 90 minutes for baseball/softball, and one hour for soccer and basketball. Days/times/locations are at the discretion of the volunteer coach.

Each league includes seven weeks of games.

Soccer and basketball leagues play one game per week on Saturdays (seven games total).

Baseball/softball leagues play two games per week on weeknights. For all other baseball/softball leagues, the number of games varies by league because of the calendar and availability of game officials.

Times and locations are always TBA and subject to change. Baseball and softball games are held on weeknights and games could start as late as 8pm and end as late as 10:30pm. We start games as early as possible (usually 5:30pm). If they started earlier, parents and officials would have trouble arriving on time.

If teams choose to purchase their own awards, they are allowed to do so at their own risk. The City of Henderson does not condone the giving of gifts of any description or anything of monetary value before, during, or after the playing season.

City of Henderson Youth Sports Leagues have historically been focused on safe environments and activities that facilitate teamwork as well as cooperation. Competition is certainly introduced in our program but not at the expense of a child’s development and our vision: “Everyone Can Play.”

While we certainly understand that championship games are fun and rewarding for teams, they will only be offered if time permits and where appropriate.  The League Director will decide on the appropriateness of a championship game based on a number of factors (e.g., current standings, sportsmanship, availability of staff and contracted officials, etc.)

Playoff and championship games will not be offered in any age division below U14.
