Volunteers Needed
AYSC needs volunteers to step forward to be Team Leaders / Coaches before we can organize teams and schedules.
Many feel they do not have enough experience or skill to coach, but the truth is that at the younger ages the primary responsibility is to help players develop very basic skills (dribbling, shooting, passing etc.) and ensure they have FUN!
This year we have added several additional individuals to our roster of Club Coaches so that we can provide more support to our volunteers, to ensure they enjoy the experience and want to continue being involved with their player’s soccer journey.
Please consider volunteering to be a team leader ASAP by visiting https://www.aldergrovesoccer.com/volunteer/. If you have already submitted AYSC’s volunteer form, thank you!
