About:
Our High School Soccer Program supports the American Youth Soccer Organization(AYSO). AYSO holds weekly soccer clinics, for 4 and 5 year olds, on Saturday mornings, from 9:00AM to 11:00AM, in the Fall and Spring. Over the years many of our Varsity and Junior Varsity Players, most of whom participated in the clinics when they were 4 and 5 years old, go on to give back to the program, by volunteering to help run the clinics, by coaching and refereeing. They are great teachers and role models for the younger players, some of whom love to come to their “coach’s” Varsity or JV games, during the week, to watch them play. We even have parent volunteer coaches, who participated in the clinic, when they were 4 or 5 years old; helped run the clinic, when they were a varsity or JV player; and now are coaching their own 4 or 5 year old.
~20 athletes help out , on a rotating basis, with about 8-12 each week, unless we have a high school game, in conflict
~50 hours of opportunity, the average player volunteers ~20 hours a year!
