PARENT PARTICIPATION Our league needs volunteers to exist. Without help, the league cannot offer the many opportunities that are available to our children. Please remember that everyone involved in this league is a volunteer. Coaches and Assistant Coaches: These are chosen by the Division Coordinators. If you are interested in coaching please contact the coordinators as soon as possible. Team Mom (or Dad): If you would like to be a team parent please talk to your coach, as it is the coach’s decision. There should be one team mom for each team and duties vary depending on the coach.
TEAM PARTICIPATION All Travel Teams are required to do team participation in the spring or in the fall in order to receive their $400 training money. It is up to the coach or team parent to schedule their team with the participation coordinator. It is scheduled on a first come first serve basis, and as we now have almost 50 teams, the schedule fills up fast. Spring and Fall participation can be done in one of the following ways:
- Concession Stand duty. There are 2 time slots on Sundays during the intramural season, 8:00-12:00 or 12:00-4:00. It consists of working at the concession stand, selling food, drinks, and clothing. We require 4 parents (not players) to be at the stand for the entire 4 hours, and the time slot cannot be split in half. Children are not allowed in the concession stand.
- Field Setup and Takedown. This consists of setting up the Burr fields during the intramural season, putting out goals, garbage pails, flags, etc, and taking them down in the afternoon. The time for this is 7:30-9:30 and 2:30-4:30. This requires 4 parents. Children are allowed to help in addition to the parents, but we must have 4 parents there because children are not allowed to drive the golf carts.
- Field Work. The Commack Soccer League is known for our great fields. This is only possible with help from volunteers. Teams can do this with as many parents as they want, but the more they have, the faster it gets done. This is usually done on Saturdays. It consists of anything from putting out the large goals before the start of the season, putting them away at the end, spreading dirt or fertilizer, clearing brush, or just about anything that is needed.
No money will be sent to a team that has not submitted their team financial statement.
