Why Volunteer?
Everyone who runs the Oak Ridge AYSO soccer program is a volunteer. None of the people you see running our program - not the coaches, the referees, the board members, or everyone else - is paid for what they are doing to provide soccer to the players of our community. But an all-volunteer organization only works if people (that means you) are willing to give their time and talents so that your players have the best soccer experience possible. We need you!
You may be thinking:
- I don't know enough about soccer! That's OK, many of us didn't know much about soccer when we started. We will provide all the training you need for each of our volunteer roles. And many of our volunteer roles don't require soccer knowledge - they require skills in areas like computers, finances, management, public relations, or just plain physical work.
- I don't have the time! Even if you only have a few hours to give during a season, there are ways for you to volunteer, such as helping to sell uniforms during a registration event.
- I'm not physically able to volunteer! We have volunteer roles that don't require you to be physically active. For example, one of our recent referee administrators is legally blind. Although she wasn't able to referee, she was able to volunteer using her computer, management, and interpersonal skills.
We
know you want your player and their friends to have the best soccer experience possible, and we're asking you to help us make that possible.
