F-1 OPT/STEM OPT: Coaching youth soccer on weekends allowed or risky?
I’m currently a full-time SWE on OPT (moving to STEM OPT soon), and I’ve been thinking about coaching youth soccer part-time on weekends just for fun.
I’m not doing it for the money as much as the experience, but I’m unsure how this fits within F-1/OPT rules. Would this be considered unauthorized employment?
Also curious how would USCIS even track something like this?
Has anyone here done something similar while on OPT/STEM OPT? How did it go, and any advice or things to watch out for?
