We have
registered our club for this volunteer program again. This
year should
be more exciting than ever. As you can see by the attached
game
schedule we have even more area High School Teams registered
for our
teams to attend as volunteers. Your team has the opportunity
to
volunteer as ball-boys/girls at the following High School
Soccer
games: Braden River HS, Lakewood Ranch HS, Southeast HS, Saint
Stephens Episcopal School, and Out of Door Academy.
Take a look at the
attached schedule & find a game you would like your
team to
attend.

fast.
Don’t
miss out on this exciting experience for your team. It’s a fun
night
for the kids and for their entire family!
___________________________________________________
The basic idea is for you to treat this as a team-building
experience
for your team while letting them see a High School soccer game
up
close. This should be an exciting experience for your players!
Here is a list of instructions:
Have your players dress in uniform. Team T-shirts or team jackets are a good alternative if you want. The idea is that they dress as a team to represent BRSC. (They can play on the field during half-time, so you may want them to wear their cleats.)
All players get free admission to the game. (Only 1 team per game-night.) Parents and/or siblings may have to pay admission.
Have a roster with your team name/age group, and all player names printed clearly for the announcer. Give this roster to the home team Head Coach for pre-game announcements. If possible, the teams have agreed to announce the player names and recognize their team as designated ball-boys/girls for the evening. Roster and instructions in PDF format.
Players duties will include:
a. Retrieve balls behind goals during pre-game warm-ups.
b. Retrieve balls during game. (Position your players around
the
entire field, and designate 1 player on each sideline to
carry the
replacement ball. The other players will retrieve balls that
go out
of bounds and return it to the sidelines. Your designated
ball
carrier will give the ball to the teams on the field for
throw-ins,
goal kicks, etc.)
c. At half-time, the players can play on the fields. You can
organize a small game, or just let them shoot on goal.
