Volunteers

The Seaside Classic is our one big fundraiser event for South County Youth Soccer. The revenues generated by this 100% volunteer led-tournament go to South County Youth Soccer and help to subsidize registration costs for all families, maintain the grounds and fields, purchase new equipment, provide the professional coaching support at practices, and help to create the entirety of the support system of SCYSC.
 
Inevitably, the success of this tournament and its enormous contributution to South County Youth Soccer Club participants each year is directly linked to the volunteer time to plan for, prep, manage and break down the event.  

Whether you are a member of the South County Youth Soccer Club or a member of the larger South County community, we appreciate all of your efforts in helping to promote the mission of our Club in promoting sportsmanship, sense of community, athletic skills, teamwork and confidence. Thank you for volunteering and playing an essential role in this very special event!

​If you have any questions or you would like to help out at next year's event, please contact our Director of Volunteers, Kerrie Corbett.
