How can I be involved?  As with any recreational league, volunteers are the key.  Without you, this league would not be possible.  Here are some great ways to get involved:

• Soccer Coach:  With multiple opportunities to be trained, you can be called - COACH.   All coaches must attend one of the following training sessions and fill out the coaches form packet.                    
• Soccer Referee:  We are asking that all our referees attend one of the above training sessions and fill out the coaches form packet also.
• Team Parent:  As a team parent you will assist the coaches in off the field organization such as snack schedule, post season party, etc.
• Testimony Speaker:  You will be given the opportunity to share your testimony with those in attendance at half time.
• Evaluation Day Helper:  We will need volunteers to help us out with evaluations.
• Field and Game Day Preparation Worker:  If you have an hour or two then we have the paint, the sprayer, and the perfect job for you.
