Connecting Players, Building Leaders: Needham Soccer Club’s Mentor Program

The Needham Soccer Club (NSC) Mentor Program connects experienced student soccer players with our younger teams to promote leadership, teamwork, and community spirit.

Mentors serve as junior coaches, helping to lead warm-ups, organize drills, and support practices and game-day activities, all while acting as positive role models for younger athletes.

This program is a volunteer opportunity open to middle school and high school students who enjoy working with kids and want to give back to the NSC community. The program is approved by Needham High School for Community Service Learning (CSL) credit.

Apply to Be a Mentor (For Students)

• High school and middle school players are invited to apply to be mentors for the Spring 2026 season.
• Mentors assist NSC coaches at practices and games, learn valuable leadership skills, and can earn community service credit if desired.

We do our best to match mentors with teams, but placement depends on team and schedule availability and cannot be guaranteed.
