2012 Gateway Soccer Association Spring Season Update:

The 2nd Season of Gateway Soccer for the Spring season is planned they are finalizing the details for the 2012 Spring Season and will be getting that information out shortly. The Fall Season was a big success and even with a late announcement/start had pretty good numbers.  They are anticipating those numbers to continue to increase as more people are informed of the new Gateway Soccer program.

Volunteers

The Gateway Soccer Association is actively looking for volunteers for the 2012 Spring Season. Head Coaches, Assistant Coaches, Team Managers, and General Volunteers.  Volunteers on every level are critical to a successful program. Experience is appreciated, but not considered essential. Below you will find some of the roles and responsibilities we are looking for. If you are interested please send an email to info@gatewaysoccer.com and specify what role(s) you would be interested in.

Coaches

The coach is responsible to instruct players during one hour practice and coach during players scheduled games.  Coaches are responsible for the behavior of players and parents and should set a good example for the children.  Coaches should be available for practices and games and if not able to attend should arrange for a substitute to work with the players.

Assistant Coaches

An Assistant Coach is responsible for helping the coach in practices and games.  In the event that the head coach cannot attend a practice or game, the assistant coach would be responsible for the players. You do need to have soccer or coaching experience to sign up for this role. It is our goal at GSA to teach and provide experience to develop these assistants into coaches.

Team Manager

The Team Manager is responsible for improving the communication among the coaches, team parents, and players.  The team manager should assist the coaches on making telephone calls to players in the event of rain outs or other changes in the schedule.  In addition, other events such as communicating team picture schedule and scheduling snacks for players after their games.

General Volunteers

Volunteers on every level are critical to a successful program. There is always additional help that is needed throughout the season above the standard coach and team manager roles. Many parents have found that they can help out before or after their child’s game. Volunteers are needed for game day field prep (before and after the games),  helping out in the concession stand serving food and drinks during practices and games, as well as some behind the scenes work.  Gateway Soccer appreciates whatever time that you can donate, even if it is just for one hour.

All Games are played at Sherman Soccer Complex – Gateway Soccer Fields
