WHERE DO WE VOLUNTEER?
BSA is a VOLUNTEER run organization and parent volunteers are required to make the program a success. ALL teams are coached by parent volunteers and without them, we have no soccer!
Each family is required to provide a $250.00 Volunteer Deposit with their registration package. Either by Credit Card Authorization form or Cheque (post-dated April 15, 2023). The volunteer deposit is mandatory and each family is required to work one 4 hour shift. Drop off your deposit at the BSA drop box located in the lobby of the Beaumont Sport & Recreation Center (BSRC) OR by using a credit card authorization form in TeamSnap. Deposits must be submitted at the time of registration. Without a volunteer deposit your child will not be placed on a team.
There are numerous opportunities to volunteer with the BSA, but coaching is the most important and most rewarding! Coaches, Assistant Coaches, and Managers need to register as a 'Team Official' in the EMSA Portal.
Coaching courses are required by EMSA and BSA will reimburse BSA coaches for the cost of those courses for the level being coached. If you are interested in coaching, please select the coach option under your Volunteer Requirement on the Registration Form and the appropriate Age Rep will be in contact with you prior to season start. Email admin@beaumontsoccer.com with your questions.
WHAT WILL WE NEED TO PLAY?
FOOTWEAR
Non-metal cleated soccer shoes are recommended for the older age groups, but NOT mandatory. Runners will suffice for the younger age groups (U4-U7).

Shin guards are mandatory for every player in every age group.
Socks that cover the shin guards are required (socks will be provided to all age groups within BSA).
UNIFORM
