Questions?
Can you help us by volunteering to be a team parent?
Q: Am I the right person for
this job?
A: If you are comfortable
interacting with kids as well as adults, this could be a good fit for you!
Q: Do I have the skills to do this job
easily?
A: Do you like
organizing and planning, and are you able to utilize email? These are good
skills for this job.
Q: I’m too busy; what is the
commitment?
A: Do you worry that you are
too busy? Many of the tasks are administrative, and can be done on your own
time (publishing a team roster, developing a snack schedule, organizing an
end of the year party). On occasion you will have to distribute items, or
collect money, and this is most easily done during game times, which are on
Saturdays.
Q: I work full time. Is there a way
that I could help outside of Monday-Friday?
A: Are you a working parent,
and want to participate in your child’s sport experience? This is a great
way to help out. Many parents lament that with work commitments, they cannot
participate as coaches or assistant coaches, because of the need to be at
practices which are held on weekdays. Being a Team Parent (or Referee) is a
way to volunteer directly with the team, which supports not only your
child’s experience but our entire region.
Team Parents are expected to complete the online version of certification. Coaches and referees are expected to take an in person training; however team parents are allowed to complete their training from the comfort and convenience of their own home. When you successfully complete the course, you will be able to print out a certificate for your records. This is new for 2007 for team parents per AYSO.
If you have questions other than those in the FAQs section, you may contact me at volunteer@halifaxayso.org. As the Volunteer Coordinator position is being developed this year, I would also welcome feedback especially at the end of the season with your reflections on how to improve coordination and support for your job as team parent/manager.
Our AYSO region is run entirely by volunteer participation. Thank you again for volunteering! Your children will benefit tremendously from your direct participation in their activity, and the region as a whole benefits from your positive involvement.
