Get involved and help make a difference with FC Montco!
We are a club run by volunteers, and it takes many hands to grow the organization and keep us successful each season. This helps us keep volunteer roles as manageable as possible, because we value your time as much as you do. We aren't just supporting a soccer club, we are building a community. As older children and their volunteer parents age out of the club, we rely on new volunteers to fill the vacated roles. If you are interested in any of the following positions, or have any questions about the responsibilities or time commitment, please contact [email protected].
For a list of the currently active volunteers, see our Leadership Team page.
Above all else, we need to make sure we keep our child athletes safe. Please see Volunteer Requirements for instructions on what we need from you to make sure we archive that important goal, and if you have any questions about those requirements, please email our Risk Management Coordinator at [email protected].
Volunteer Clearance Requirements
Pennsylvania law requires ALL volunteers in direct contact with children, have access to privacy information from children, or potentially communicate with children, to have child abuse clearances and specific background checks.
You may have some clearances already as a volunteer in another role (for example your child's school). However, there are additional requirements for Eastern Pennsylvania Youth Soccer Association (EPYSA) that must be completed in order to ensure the safety of our child athletes. Additional information on the legislation and reporting requirements is available at keepkidssafe.pa.gov.
FC Montco requires copies of clearances for ALL of our volunteers. We must have this documentation in hand prior to the commencement of your volunteer activities.
If your clearances are not on file, you will NOT be permitted on the field.
Specifically, all coaches, assistant coaches, trainers, Directors, and Board Members are required to have the clearances listed below.
Submission Instructions
Following EPYSA requirements, every volunteer is required to submit 5 documents in order to be club approved. Please complete/obtain all 5 trainings/clearance checks and submit together in ONE email to our club Risk Management coordinator: [email protected]. Please indicate the subject line which position, program, and age group for which you have volunteered. This must be done prior to practices/games. Email the club Risk Management coordinator with any questions.
