A volunteer is anyone who is helping the Region in its endeavors to provide a soccer program for our youth players. This includes coaches, assistant coaches, team managers, team treasurers, trainers, referees, board staff, fields help, etc.
Volunteers must submit a new volunteer form each membership year. Volunteers who submitted a volunteer form for the 2016 fall season should be active. If you are unsure, please check with our CVPA (Child/Volunteer Protection Advocate).
In addition to submitting a form, volunteers must have completed their Save Haven, CDC, and possible coaching certification (if a coach or assistant coach), or referee certification (if a referee). Steps for all are listed below.
