You will more than likely have to start as an assistant or helping at a few clinics and camps. Jumping right into a traveling team coaching position is difficult without prior experience or connections. My advice would be to check with some local leagues in your area or maybe even some city or YMCAs and ask if they need help. If you know someone who is already a coach, ask them if you can help out at practices. Get some experience at the lower levels and make some connections.
