Volunteers are needed to ensure our mini-league program runs as smoothly as possible and that all players stay active, interested, learn some soccer skills and have fun doing it!
We will be looking for parents, older siblings, and community members to step up and volunteer for the following positions. If you are at the field already, why not jump in and get active with your kids! It's also a great way for youth to get volunteer hours and spruce up their resume or for community members to get involved in our great organization. We are a registered organization for the Community Service Bursary Program and have had youth fulfill hours for the Duke of Edinburgh awards.

To ensure a successful mini league season we break up the organizational responsibilities between 5 people.
