Volunteering with Colonial Soccer Club
Colonial Soccer Club is a non-profit organization that runs on the power of our people. Without our volunteer coaches, board of directors, and coordinators, we wouldn't be able to provide year-round soccer programming for over 1900 kids in our community.

If you'd like to help support the Club through volunteering, please check out the list of positions below. If you have an idea for a role that you don't see listed, reach out. We're always looking for new ideas and new people to help the club. Please contact Club President Jim Jamison at [email protected] to volunteer.
