We Need You!

DDSC continues to thrive because of volunteers like you. This email contains important information about the Club, so please read through to the end.

As we approach the AGM, we ask you to consider how you might contribute to DDSC. One of the healthiest things we can do as a club is welcome new volunteers and fresh perspectives.

The DDSC Board of Directors consists of 12 volunteer members, each playing an essential role in supporting the club’s operations and mission. We invite you to take a moment to consider whether you would be willing to serve in one of these roles.

Requirements for serving on the Board:

A love for kids and the game of soccer
A desire to support our community
Enjoy working with others as part of a team

No prior experience is required. You would be joining a supportive, experienced Board committed to helping new members succeed.

Open Positions

We are currently accepting applications for the following elected positions:

Vice President
Secretary
Director at Large

We are also seeking candidates for the Micro Coordinator position, which is appointed by the Board.

If you are interested in helping our club by filling one of these roles, please email pres@ddsoccer.org and include brief responses (one or two sentences is fine) to the following questions:

Why are you interested in serving on the Board of Directors?
Have you volunteered with DDSC or another organization in the past or currently? (Not required.)
DDSC’s mission is to provide a fun, high-quality recreational soccer experience to as many kids as possible in our local community. Do you have any ideas for strengthening or expanding this mission?

Thank you for taking the time to read this message. Without volunteer participation, there would be no David Douglas Soccer Club. Please consider giving back to your kids and your community by volunteering with DDSC.
