To run a successful program we need parent volunteers. Those families
unable to volunteer will be required to pay a $50 donation.
Here's a quick list of the positions available and a small
description of what each entails.
Coaches and Co-coaches
Without enough coaches teams need to be larger and therefore playing
time and touches on the ball decrease significantly. There is no need
to be a soccer pro to coach in the house league. We have booklets
available and training is available to those who would like
it, at no charge. The focus is on having fun and learning a love for the
game. You will need to be available for a majority of the scheduled
nights. You will be teamed with a co-coach to help you on
the field and take over when commitments force you to be away.
Managers
Managers are the off field coaches. It is your job to convey all
information to the team through email and phone calls. If the coach
cancels a game it's you who informs the team. You provide the schedule
and assign snack duty. Without you the team is lost. This is a great
position for someone more comfortable off the field.
Equipment Volunteers
Got an air compressor? Can you count to 12? If you answered yes to
either question this may be the position for you. There are two
occasions where equipment volunteers are needed: distributing the
equipment and handling the equipment return. These happen on specific
days and require only a few hours. Those with air compressors are
helpful for the distribution period as the balls tend to need some
inflation after the winter.
Picture Volunteers
This position requires you only to spend a couple hours at the Soccer
Centre on picture day assisting the photographers by telling players
where to wait.
Field Volunteers
Those white lines don't grow into the grass on their own and once
we've put them down the city will undoubtedly power rake them off. If
you like long walks in the park maybe you could push a line painter
while you're doing it. Again this only requires a few hours of time.
The lines need to be put down three times in the season.
Wrap-up Volunteer
The biggest day of the season needs a few people to iron the
wrinkles. Food, drinks, pictures and medals don't hand themselves out!
Volunteer As Needed
There may be an odd job not listed, or we may not get enough people
in one of the listed categories. Either way if you select this you may
be asked step up. Please consider selecting at least one of the listed
categories in addition to this one so we know your preferences. We will
not randomly assign duties to those in this category, we will ask them
if they can fulfil duties which we are at a lack of volunteers for. |
