VOLUNTEERS
Alpine Strikers FC is a volunteer-run organization in which all families are expected to contribute time to their teams, and each team is expected to contribute time to the club. All club-wide services (age group coordination, registration, field scheduling, referee assigning, uniforms, club-wide events) are organized by volunteers.
Our teams are managed by volunteer Team Managers and other volunteer staff – they are responsible for all off-field issues (scheduling, finance, etc.) operating to norms established by the Club. Team Managers are nominated by their team and approved by the Board. Each team manager is expected to attend club-wide meetings which are open to the entire membership. In turn, the Club provides extensive training for its Managers, Schedulers and other volunteers.
