Soccer Needs You Now!

Without volunteers to step up and fill vacant board positions, and to help coach and referee games, soccer in Sewanee for young people may come to an end.

Sewanee Youth Soccer has been part of sports on the Mountain since 1988. In 1994, Sewanee Youth Soccer joined with the American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO), a national organization that promotes soccer programs where good sportsmanship and teamwork are most important. Being affiliated with AYSO requires Sewanee Youth Soccer to adhere to certain guidelines, including having sufficient volunteers to serve on the board. In other regions without enough volunteers, AYSO has shut down the programs.

There are two immediate openings on the board, as well as many other opportunities to volunteer. There are seven board positions that must be filled annually.

More than 1,800 children across the Mountain have enjoyed learning how to play soccer, being part of a team and learning good sportsmanship. Please don’t let it come to an end because there weren’t enough adults willing to step up.
