Volunteer with SYSA

Powered by Volunteers

Seattle Youth Soccer Association is supported by a large group of dedicated volunteers. A huge THANK YOU!! to the folks who make such a big difference for our kids. The time and energy that you freely give makes it possible for 10,000+ soccer players in Seattle and Shoreline to play soccer each year. Whether coaching, helping with administrative work or organizing any of the many moving parts, we are extremely grateful for everything you do!

Volunteering at an SYSA club is a great way to keep our excellent program of youth soccer continuing in Seattle. You'll meet friendly new people and re-acquaint yourself with some you already know. You'll share a great experience together and have fun doing it. And you'll get the opportunity to see the joy on the faces of players as they partake in the world's sport -- the Beautiful Game -- each year right here in Seattle.

volunteer in your neighborhood

SYSA and its member clubs rely on volunteers for nearly all of their 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.

What are the different ways I can get involved?

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 clubs regularly need help with:

• Team Coaches

• Team Managers

• Club Board Members

• Club Field Assignors, Setup Coordinators and Equipment Managers

• Club Registrars and Web Site Support

• Club Treasurers

Previous soccer experience is NOT necessary to assist your club. There are many activities that you can help with without a soccer background.

Contact your neighborhood club to offer your help as a volunteer - alternately, fill out the form below and we can connect you to the right club.

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, information@sysa.org.
