Sunnyvale Alliance Soccer Club

Volunteer Information


The club is 100% made of volunteers like you  (parents and other interested parties) that like the idea of promoting youth soccer in our community (City of Sunnyvale -Did you know that the City of Sunnyvale has more fields dedicated to recreation than any of the surrounding cities?). In any case, the club needs a continuos influx of volunteers to keep the club running (the more volunteers the easier on everybody). The tasks are not difficult or time consuming, but they require commitment.

Remember, this investment of your (our) time is for the benefit of your kids.
The desired situation: each team has a member on the board or assists the board in the various tasks! Is your team represented? Competitive teams are REQUIRED to provide adult referee game coverage (youth also welcome in addition) and volunteer time.


Contact (Chuck Kluz) about helping with new Sunnyvale Soccer Complex to be run by SASC at former Patrick Henry Middle School site. Fields need renovation and we need volunteers to work on fields, and donations of money, equipment (or use), materials (dirt, compost, sod, seed, fertilizer, etc...) and services (lawnmowing, fertilizing, weed killing, etc...). Fundraising and work in progress NOW, while we use fields with incremental improvements by volunteers.

THANK YOU to those who have helped so far.



Board Status

The board members are listed below, along with open positions, with brief job descriptions for each.  Elections and nominations for Board positions are held every 1st Thursday of the month of November (except open positions which Board votes in new members at any monthly meeting).
