We need you and are grateful for any time you can provide the program. Current needs: Board Members, coaches, assistant coaches, referees, field set up, concession stand helpers, etc. All of these positions have free certifications (all online with the exception of some of the higher coaching/refereeing courses).
Certifications include: Safe Haven, Concussion Awareness, certification in the area you want to volunteer, and new this year is Mandatory Reporting through Safe Sport. Again, all volunteers need to do this.
If you can get registered early, that gives us all summer to complete the courses prior to stepping on the fields.
