The Amherst County sports programs can only exist with support from the community. Jeremy Bryant, the Director of Community Development, spent many years coaching for Amherst County. “Coaching youth soccer is a great opportunity to impact the lives of children. Beyond the chance to teach soccer and athleticism, you have the opportunity to teach life-long lessons to your team. Positive coaching helps build their self-confidence, which is something children will be able to take with them off the field. The lesson they learn can be applied for the rest of their lives.” says Bryant.
