Here at SYSA, we look at youth soccer not just as an opportunity for kids to play the beautiful game, but a chance for them to create new friendships, learn to collaborate and work with others, build lifelong skills and HAVE FUN in a safe, caring environment. Our SYSA community is SO MUCH MORE than soccer - this community connects us all and brings us back to the things that really matter: the people around us.
With that mission as our guiding light, we are asking for your support. We are entering the time of the year when Seattle Youth Soccer Association puts out a notice and call for volunteers to join our association’s Board. This is an opportunity to get involved on a larger scale and make an impact by helping keep our excellent program of youth soccer continuing in Seattle. Right now is an especially exciting time to get involved in Seattle's youth soccer scene as the city begins to gear up for the World Cup in 2026.
Our vacancies are listed here. Each position is a two year term with a once monthly meeting requirement, remote option available. If interested, please reach out to SYSA Executive Director David Griffiths (davidg@sysa.org) by February 29th, 2024 for next steps.
