Volunteering at Prospect Lake Soccer Club

Prospect Lake Soccer Club is a non-profit association run by volunteers. With volunteers participating in Executive positions, regular team activities & club functions, our Club is able to be successful. We could not manage without our members actively assisting in club activities during the season.

Here are some of the ways that you can earn your volunteer hours.

Prospect Lake Soccer Club Volunteer Sign-Up

Z

Board Members

Get involved with your club and assist in setting the direction. All Board Members are automically exempted from the volunteer policy. No need to wait for an AGM, reach out the Board Member today if you’re interested.

Coaches, Asst coaches, Managers

Again, these position are exempt from the volunteer policy. It doesn’t happen often but if you coach a team that you don’t have a child on, your adult registration is free.

Team Managers coordinate the team uniforms and are the communicators of the team, advising families of games and any changes in the schedule.

Team Volunteer Coordinators

Team Volunteer Coordinators communicate parent volunteer hours to the Volunteer Coordinator every month.

Layritz Turf Clean-up

Everyone tries to keep it clean but the Turf does need some upkeep on a regular basis. Hours are calculated on an hour by hour basis, several volunteers per season are required and generally involves:
  • Bringing gloves and a garbage bag
  • Check the turf field, dug-outs, benches areas for garbage and miscellaneous items
  • Check the concrete path area, bleachers for any garbage/miscellaneous items
Z

the Concession

Concession hours during games will be coordinated by your team manager or volunteer coordinator but there are other chances to assist too, either during special events or programs and a tournament hosted by Prospect Lake in February or March each year. This is done on an hour by hour basis.

Z

Lining Games

In order to qualify for hours lining games, you must take the lining course offered at the beginning of September and line a minimum of 4 games.

Event Coordinator

Want to organize an event for fundraising purposes or the soccer community? We’re open to ideas, reach out to a Board Member with details and support. Ideas of events in the past include Bingo Nights, Dances with silent auctions, club bottle drive, and of course there is the year-end banquet. As an event organizer, you’ll get your 5-hours and with the assistance of our volunteer coordinator, other volunteers will get their hours on an hour by hour worked basis. 
Z

The Store

The store opens a few times through out the year, we’ll communicate this as soon as details become available. This is done on an hour by hour basis.

Game Set-up/Clean-up

This is done on an as-needed basis, your team manager will advise when this is required. It would involve setting up or moving nets before and likely after the game. Done on an hour by hour basis.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How old does my child have to be to play soccer?

Our youngest players are 4 years old or U5 and start with our Little Kickers Program on Saturday mornings. Check out our Players Page for more information.

  • When is the registration period?

Early registration for the fall season usually opens in February or March at a discounted rate until June. We like to plan the season so we appreciate early registration. The regular registration period runs from July and closes in mid-September or whenever registration is full.

  • What is included in the registration fee?

With the exception of Little Kickers, who receive a Tim-Bits t-shits and socks, our players receive a club jersey (which has to be returned at the end of the season) along with socks each year. Every second year, players receive shorts.

  • When are practices during the regular season?

Little Kickers (U5-U6) takes place on Saturday mornings. As a general rule, girls practice on Monday and/or Wednesday and boys practice on Tuesday and/or Thursday. Most games take place on Saturday.

  • Can I make a friend request?

Once the little kickers are on the field, it is quite obvious which kids would like to play together. We do our best to honour friend requests in other age levels, although can only be honoured for players in the same age group.

  • How can I register my child?

When registration for one of our programs is open, there is a link on our home page, players page, and club news.

  • What paperwork do I need to register my child to play soccer?

We do require a copy of the players birth certificate but we only need this the first time they register with us.
