PARENTS AND PLAYERS
Volunteers
Supportive parents are a vital component to a successful youth sports organization. Parents, in cooperation with coaches, referees and league officials, help to establish a positive atmosphere in which our kids can thrive, not only as athletes, but also as people.

How much playing time will my child get?
Your child should play 50% of the game by the rules. Understand at the younger ages your child may ask to sit out longer then the year older children. Coaches are encouraged to play all kids at least 50% of the game. Recreational soccer is about playing time and fundamentals not on winning every game.
How can I help Tremors Soccer?
The soccer club is 100% volunteer organizations. All coaches, board members and other volunteers are giving their time so your child can participate in a great sport and have fun. Tremors is in need of Coaches. We will provide you the training to succeed as a coach. We are also in need of Referees. You can start at the U6 age and see the fun of refereeing the sport and move up as you become more comfortable calling the game.
