Howell Soccer Club (HSC) is a non-profit volunteer organization. Approximately 20 volunteers work hundreds of hours each week for over 800+ children.
We welcome you and your talents! There is plenty to do. While we are always in need of coaches, there is much more going on behind the scenes to make HSC a fun time for your kids. Many of you have organizational, bookkeeping or administrative skills that are sorely needed. All of us know how to use a phone or have computer skills or perhaps you just want to get out of the house on Saturday morning for some peace and quiet. Lining the fields at 7:00 A.M. is tranquil and mindless. Literally a walk in the park! These skills are what make HSC tick.
When you register a $30 volunteer deposit will be collected (via check or money order) and then be refunded when you complete participation in the Mandatory Parent Participation Program or, in other words, simply volunteer for one of the many activities available.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! There is a spot for everyone. For more information or to volunteer, please give us a call at 732-919-7788 (mailbox 7), check for the volunteer sign-up sheet located at the snack stand, or send an email to: volunteers@howellsoccerclub.com.
