Parent Volunteers

 

PYGL is a non-profit, all-volunteer organization and we could use your help! Opportunities are available in a variety of areas.  

PYGL & GTS has grown exponentially over the last several years and we ask you for help in ensuring our league continues to grow and thrive. In order to give the girls the best experience we possible can we need the support of our players' parents. Absolutely no experience is necessary as many of our current coaches and board members came in with no lacrosse experience or board experience and have been involved for the last 8-10 years. Our experienced board members and coaches can walk you through everything and bring you up to speed.

COACHING:

If you prefer hands-on time with the sport, we are always looking for coaches and assistants.  No lacrosse experience is required- just a desire to learn and have fun with the kids.  Coaches training is provided through the league. If you cannot commit to coaching a team, maybe you are available to help run practices/clinics?

 

BOARD DUTIES:

We are always looking for people to help with the administrative tasks related to running the league.  Some of the positions include overseeing player registrations, uniform management, scheduling practice/game times/fields in conjunction with Mass Youth Lacrosse, fundraising, marketing via social media, etc.

 

• President (possible Co-President): The President is responsible for the overall success and growth of PYGL. He or she runs the meetings and holds other board members and staff members accountable for upholding the organization’s mission, vision, and values. He or she should facilitate discussions and votes.

• Treasurer (possible Co-Treasurer): The Treasurer is responsible for overseeing the PYGL’s finances and budget. He or she runs the organization’s accounts and is tasked with distributing and depositing funds as needed.

• Registrar: The Registrar is charged with overseeing the league's registration process. This can include maintaining the database of athletes, communicating registration information and promoting registration activities. He or she is also responsible for creating, distributing and recording all registration forms.

• Facility Manager: oversees all training areas the organization’s teams use for practice and games. He or she is responsible for submitting permits, reserving facilities based on each team’s schedule, and ensuring the facilities meet proper safety guidelines.

• Fundraising Manager: The Fundraising Manager is responsible for organizing and overseeing all fundraising efforts for the league. He or she will work with the Treasurer to determine the financial need and decide how to raise additional funds – both through holding fundraisers and securing sponsorships. For fundraising opportunities, he or she will work with each team, parents, players, and volunteers to help execute the initiative.

• Communications Manager: The Communications Manager creates and distributes all official communications from the organization. This can include updating the club’s website, marketing the league, sending press releases, creating newsletters, and distributing other news. 

 

Website /Online:

You can spend as little or as much time as you have available to help us with these efforts.  Every little bit helps! For example, if you can spend 30 minutes per month looking for educational content on the web that we can post or link to, that's great!  If you are into photography and are willing to take pictures at events and post them, that's great too!  If you know social media and would like to manage our presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram as well as other social media sites and link them here, that would be great also. 

If you have a willingness to get involved and have ideas you'd like to share, we are always willing to listen and would love to have you join us!
