Portsmouth Youth Soccer Association - PYSA

2005 Officers and Staff

Volunteers ALWAYS needed. Please come forward and ASK what position you can fill or become the assistant to. Assistants can then fill Board Member's position at the completion of the Board Member's term.

Come forward by emailing, telephoning or come to next board meeting! Thanks!

Below you will find a description for each of the Administrative positions that are needed to run the PYSA Summer Rec program. The only real pre-requisite for each of the positions is that you are a caring, interested parent who is willing to volunteer, commit and take responsibility for making it happen. Keep in mind that the person you replace is just a phone call away and would be more than happy to guide you in the right direction, as would all previous members of the board. 

Please also remember that programs won't continue to happen next year just because they happened this year. Volunteers are needed to insure that programs will continue, so children can play.
