Volunteering

Posted by Derek Correia at Jul 28, 2009 5:00PM PDT ( 0 Comments )

BYSC is a non-profit organization. All members of our board, as well as almost all of our coaches, are volunteer parents from the community. 

As is often the case in volunteer organizations, there is almost always more to do than there are people to do it.  

We always need coaches, team managers, administrative help, community relations assistance, and help with field preparations and organizing practice and play. 

Additionally, we have many volunteer, as well as paid opportunities for teens and young adults to get involved with the league.  Those with a passion for soccer and appropriate knowledge can be hired as paid trainers or referees, and both pay attractive hourly wages. 

PLEASE CHECK THE HANDOUTS TAB FOR FLYERS DETAILING CURRENT VOLUNTEER NEEDS.

If you are interested in helping out in other ways, please get in touch with the club by emailing us @ bedfordsoccer1@gmail.com  or feel free to contact any of our board members (board member contact information is available on the "Board" tab).
