All administrators and volunteers are bound by the “Pledge Code” and “Standard of Conduct”.  Dale City Sports Club (DCSC) non-profit youth organization completely run by community members on a volunteer basis.  Without volunteers like you, this program cannot exist.  We are looking for more people to help "shoulder the load" of running the wonderful organization that our families, friends, and neighbors participate in.  Volunteers are needed in all areas including board members, coaches, assistant coaches, team managers, team parents, event committees, concession attendants, fundraising committee and other positions. Please consider volunteering for a minimum of 1 hour of service.

ALL DCSC volunteers who have direct contact with youth athletes during scheduled team practices, games, and other team activities must submit this application and sign the Background Screening Acknowledgement section. This screening will include a review of sex offender registries, child abuse, and criminal history records. I herby release and hold harmless from liability DCSC, the officers, employees, agents, volunteers thereof, and any other person or organization that may provide such information in accordance with the laws of the United States. I further understand that previous acceptance as a DCSC Coach/Volunteer does not obligate DCSC or its local Association, to accept my current application.

PARENT INVOLVEMENT

Involved parents are vital to the success of any youth football team.  Your player’s coach will be very grateful for your help and support!  If you are interested in volunteering, or would like more information, please contact our volunteer coordinator: [email protected].

VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITIES

Each team will need many volunteers to step forward in various roles.  Many roles could be filled by more than one person (job sharing!) Parents play many roles in sport: current or former athlete, coach, fan, motivator, role model or critic. A few studies have shown that family members may influence an athlete’s involvement and achievement in sport more than coaches. Parents also are the first and most critical agents at socializing sports.
