Volunteer Philosophy – One of the Springfield/South County Youth Club’s most valuable resources is its pool of volunteers who are essential in providing quality youth sports activities to the members of our community. In the past, SYC charged families a $40 non-volunteer fee to those who did not volunteer during the membership year. SYC’s new fee structure recognizes the hardest working volunteers in each sport by discounting their children’s future registrations with a Volunteer Credit. Please remember that all SYC sports need volunteers that are not on the “Reward” system. Coaches will communicate to parents regarding any additional volunteer opportunities on an “as needed” basis. All volunteers are critical to our sports programs and your child’s team.
Volunteer Credit - Each sport in SYC has specific volunteer positions that are eligible for a Volunteer Credit.
To volunteer with SYC, you must register as a volunteer in the Demosphere database. Volunteers include, league directors, head coaches, assistant coaches, parents helping out on the field/court, etc. A team or league official will assign you to the appropriate position so that the volunteer credit can be applied to your account.
Once selected, volunteers must complete:
Background checks, abuse awareness training, and concussion awareness training need to be completed every 2 years.
After the volunteer job has been completed, and the system shows that the background check and abuse awareness training have been completed, the office staff will add the Volunteer Credit to the volunteer's account. The credits will automatically be applied to the next registration eligible for discounts for players in the same family account. Credits do not have to be used in the same membership year.
Background checks and abuse awareness training need to be up to date before a volunteer can receive their volunteer credit.
Please remember it is your responsibility to volunteer!
