Dear Fall 2022 Intramural/SCSL Families,
Pre Season Info #1
We are all excited for the start of the season, so we are starting to get a lot of questions, mainly about rosters,practices, game schedules etc Please, read through this info before hitting send on an email- We are always stretched thin, and our time is being spent on getting the season started, so emails and Facebook messages will often sit for a few days- Please, be patient.
But first-
We need Volunteers to make this work! So far, we have about 32 Head Coach volunteers for 42 teams. We are particularly short of Head Coaches for PeeWees ( Looks like a lot of Assistants are about to get promoted!!!) LOL.
-
Out of the 450 kids registered in Intramurals , we have about 70 parent volunteer coaches, we need 90 or so,
-
If you can volunteer to coach, please do it by logging into your account, and following the screens on the volunteer tab- We cannot register you in the system by email, you need do it on your account- By default, we will need to ask all Assistant Coaches to step up as Head Coaches
-
We need help at the Club staff level, as well- There are 3 or 4 of us who run registration, rent the fields, buy and repair the equipment, order 600 uniforms a season, sort them, train coaches, paint the fields, distribute practice gear, Club and Association paperwork, run background checks, manage Insurance, run the actual programs, communicate to the parents, and try to keep up with 20 or 30 emails a day. We should have 8 or 10 people to run a club this size
-
Please contact me directly if you can help at the Club level- [email protected]
