Our Soccer Club, like most recreation-only soccer clubs, is an all-volunteer effort. Nothing happens without volunteers. And like most clubs, 80 percent of the work is done by 20 percent of the potential volunteers. We don’t have to follow that trend. If more of us stand up to help out, we’ll create a better experience for our children.
Because of the difficulty finding volunteers in the past, we’ve had to institute a volunteer opt-out fee as a part of the registration process. Like LIttle League Baseball, Softball and other sports programs in Carlisle, you can opt out of volunteering by paying $25 fee at registration. If you don’t pay the fee, you’ll be contacted to help mow the fields, pick up trash, run the concession stand, run the irrigation unit, and do other activities that need to be done to have a successful club.
If you paid $25 Opt out fee than you have already fulfilled your Volunteer Commitment
During registration, you indicated which volunteer Job you would like to perform. We try to make sure everyone gets their first choice however, with only so many team parents needed, if you have not been contacted to be a team parent, please plan to volunteer in a different capacity. Right now,
Concession Volunteers: These volunteers will work in our new concession stand - we have nachos this season! - and feed the hungry masses on Sunday game days. Email or call Lisa Wilson (989-0031).
Field Maintenance Team. These volunteers will take on the mowing, irrigation and field striping work during the season. The more people we get to volunteer their time, the smaller and shorter the tasks.

Fundraising Team. These volunteers will work under the direction of Lisa Wilson, Development Director, as she seeks out corporate partners and writes grant applications to support our growth investments. If you’re interested in serving the Club in this position, please contact Lisa Wilson at 577-5811.
We are also looking for a volunteer coordinator. If you’d like to help the club by serving in that role, contact Lisa at 989-0031. Until we find that person, all volunteers are responsibile to contact the Lisa Wilson or Ryan Woodruff to fulfill their obligation.
If you do not fulfill your obligation by the end of the season you will be billed a $25.00 Opt-Out Fee and your son or daughter will not be able to play until the fee is paid next season.
