Volunteers
Information
GWYSL is Powered by Volunteers.
We are a non-profit, ALL-VOLUNTEER organization dedicated to youth soccer. We receive no public funds and all of our expenses are paid from the registration fees of the children who play. We expect all parents to participate in a volunteer role.
Please take a look at the different positions below and let us know how you can help out!
Here are a few key positions we need to fill!
To volunteer, please email gwysl.commish@gmail.com
Team Managers
Be the glue that keeps your team together!
Duties: Work with parents on your child’s team to help link them up with volunteer roles, coordinate team snack, and help the coach by communicating games.
Fields & Equipment Assistant Managers
If you want your kid to score a goal, better make sure there’s a net on the field!
Duties: Maintain the league’s equipment, order more when needed. Coordinate with volunteers for field painting—to learn more, email fields@gwysl.org.
And, we always need…
Referees
It may be the only time the kids listen to you on the field!
Duties: Enjoy your child’s game more by becoming a referee and understanding the rules of the game. Each team is to provide one Referee for one game each Saturday. All training and uniforms are provided ahead of the season.
