Coaches Outreach exists through the efforts of countless volunteers made up of retired coaches and lay people who minister to coaches and spouses with their time and talents. Most importantly, hundreds of coaches and spouses help further the mission of Coaches Outreach through their gifts, prayers, and involvement. In addition to these godly servant leaders, Coaches Outreach employs a few fulltime staff members (See below).
