Volunteers needed for Summer Tournaments!
FCAA will be hosting several tournaments this summer and in need of volunteers to help with the tournaments. FCAA has a reputation of hosting “outstanding” tournaments. There is a lot of work behind the scenes to make these tournaments run smoothly and we couldn’t do it without our park family volunteers.
We need volunteers to help prep the fields before, in-between, and after games. If you can share a few hours come out and help us keep our park and the fields in great condition for these tournaments.
It’s a great way for students to earn Community Service hours while they learn more about the game, running tournaments and what goes into maintaining the fields.
If you are interested in volunteering please contact the Tournament Director for a particular tournament.
