    There are some special sports-oriented visas that you could look into. See this site for some details.

    Isnt that just a pain...im the same situation . They have said if i find another way they will do what they can. Just a pain. Have you spoken to anyone regardng visas or been given advice ??? Have you thought as they are showing interest..that you would go over and volunteer work or work for free and get your foot in door that way..show them what you can do

    You can't volunteer on the VWP. The only way is to get sponsored or prove extraordinary ability. There's a section on this site about visas for sports coaches
