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. When you register a $60 volunteer deposit will be collected (via check or money order) and then refunded when you complete participation in the Mandatory Parent Participation Program or, in other words, simply volunteer for one of the activities available.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! There is a spot for everyone. For more information or to volunteer, check for the volunteer sign-up sheet located at the snack stand, or send an email to: volunteers@howellsoccerclub.com.
Below are typical volunteer positions, but always keep an eye out at the snack stand for additional requests for volunteers throughout the season for help on an as-needed basis:
- COMMISSIONERS: Supervise Saturday games, meet with coaches, resolve schedule conflicts, divide players into teams, communicate to/from Board to/from coaches and parents.
- FIELD PREP: Re-striping lines, moving nets, etc. There are 2 hour shifts available from 7am to 9am or from 1pm to 3pm. NOTE: If you are scheduled for field duty in the morning, you are required to arrive for your scheduled duty, rain or shine.
- COACH: Ensures ALL players are having FUN! Must get an F License from the state before the beginning of your 2nd season. Sets a positive example of fun, good sportsmanship and love of the game for all players. Attends all coaching clinics. Organize/schedule practices, responsible for the safety of players, ensures all players are taught age appropriate skills, enlists the help of parents when needed, works closely with team parent, communicates with HSC through commissioner, attends all meetings and involves parents in his/her coaching philosophy and encourages positive reinforcement for players.
- ASSISTANT COACH: Assists Coach with responsibilities as needed. Reinforces the coach's positive example. Fills in as Coach when the Coach is not able to be present. Must get an F License.
- ACTIVITIES COMMITTEE: From time to time special activities arise that require extra help. Standing committees are Hot Dog Day, Picture Day, and Round Robin Day. These activities require hours of preparation that can interfere with the normal operation of HSC and therefore extra help is needed. These activities are designed for the enjoyment and support of you and your children.
