Coach Application for Spring 2025 Season

Thank you for your interest in participating in Gotham FC’s Keep Her in the Game program. Check out our end of year recap post!

This form is intended for coaches, not parents or players. **If you coach multiple teams who meet our eligibility requirements who would like to be included in this program, please submit one form per team.**

Applications are currently open for teams that meet the following requirements:

1) The team you coach is currently a U12, U13 or U14 Girls* team as of Spring 2025.

2) The team is located within a 2 hour-drive of Sports Illustrated Stadium (formally, Red Bull Arena) in Harrison, New Jersey.

We welcome all teams that meet this criteria to apply. We encourage coaches supporting our most marginalized girls in youth soccer to apply, including BIPOC players and teams with a high percentage of girls who qualify for free or reduced school lunch.

Application timeline:

- Applications will be accepted until end of day Sunday, February 9th, 2025.

- Spaces are limited. Coaches will be notified of their application status no later than Wednesday, February 12th. Teams/coaches who don't receive a spot for Spring 2025 will be invited to apply again in Fall 2025.

Questions? Contact Gotham FC's Community & Social Impact Team: Corinne Counsell CCounsell@gothamfc.com and Emma Walley EWalley@gothamfc.com.
