Volunteering for SYSA
SYSA and its member clubs rely on volunteers for nearly all of its operations. When parents show up at a field for their child's practice or a game, they may not realize the hundreds of hours of volunteer time that went into making it all happen. It literally takes an army of volunteers to organize a soccer season for 13,000 kids!
To offer your help as a volunteer, contact your neighborhood club. You can find them listed under CLUBS in the left column of this page. If you would like advice or assistance or if you have any questions, you contact SYSA directly and we'll be happy to direct you. Call 206-274-1318 or email seattleyouthsoccer@yahoo.com.
There are many ways that you can help organize and produce the great soccer experience that thousands of our kids have every year. Most volunteer activity happens within SYSA's neighborhood clubs. Here are a few of the many positions that the clubs need help with:
Previous soccer experience is NOT necessary to assist your club. There are many activities that you can help with without a soccer background at all.
Volunteering for SYSA club is a great way to keep our excellent program of youth soccer continuing in Seattle. You'll meet friendly new people or re-acquaint yourself with some you already know. You'll share a great experience together and have fun doing it. And you'll experience the satisfaction of seeing the joy on the faces of our children as they play the world's sport -- the Beautiful Game -- each year right here in Seattle.
