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 and 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:

1. Concession Stand duty.
There are 2 time slots on Sundays during the intramural season, 8:30-12:30 and 12:30-4:30.
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.

2. 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 3:30-5:30. This requires 4 parents. Children are allowed to help in addition to the parents, but we must have parents there because children are not allowed to drive the golf carts.

3. 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.


MEMORIAL DAY PARTICIPATION
This is separate from team participation. Our Memorial Day Tournament is our largest fundraiser and we need the help of all the travel teams to make it work.
The teams get free entry into the tournament in addition to $400 for training.
Each team will be assigned a 3-hour time slot to work. We need 4 parents there for the entire 3 hours - do not split the shift. Children are not allowed in the concession area. If the parents do not stay there for the 3 hours, your team will not get credit for participation.
The hours are from 7am to 7pm. Once the tournament game schedule is complete, the participation coordinator will schedule each team to a time slot that will not conflict with their games.


Teams will receive their team participation money soon after doing their scheduled work. Money earned during the Memorial Day Tournament will not be sent to the team until after spring tryouts.
No money will be sent to a team that has not submitted their team financial statement.
