Volunteer Information

The Vista Jr. Eagle Program is currently accepting applications for the 2024 Football and Cheer seasons. If you are interested in becoming a member of our coaching staff and inspiring young athletes, we want to hear from you!  Each of our football and cheer teams is managed by a Head Coach who is supported by multiple assistant coaches and instructors. So there are plenty of opportunities to assist!  All perspective Head Coaches and Assistant Coaches will need to complete the online application in TeamSideline and tell us more about your experience in the football and cheer worlds. Applications will then be reviewed by the VJE Board and interviews will be conducted before final selections are announced.
