Junior Coaches
Skybrook Storm's Junior Coach program will return in 2026 where they will lead our youngest group, Skybrook Spark (ages 4-5). This program helps us develop coaching talent for future seasons. A Junior Coach must be an active member of the team age 15 or older, swim for Skybrook Storm at meets, and be available to coach for a minimum of two practice days per week. Interested swimmers can apply during registration.
Note: Junior Coaches can count this toward service volunteer hours for school, if allowed.
