Volunteering

Southern Tioga Youth Soccer (STYS) would not exist without volunteers. Please consider becoming part of the team and volunteer when and where you can. Lend a hand and get involved. The only way to keep our registration fees among the lowest in the area is with everyone’s participation in fundraising. 

 We are extremely grateful to everyone who volunteers their time to help our club continue to be successful.

Why Volunteer?

Southern Tioga Youth Soccer (STYS)  is self-funded and run by volunteers. As an organization, we wouldn’t be successful without the support of those willing to step-up and help out. Our income comes from registration fees, fundraisers, the concession stand, and sponsorships. Our expenses include uniforms, equipment, utilities, taxes & insurance, and field maintenance. So it comes to our parents, board and volunteers to put in the effort, like those in the past, to continue to raise funds for the club’s financial needs. 

How Can I Help?

STYS is always in need of referees and coaches! If you have any experience or are interested in learning, we would love to welcome you to STYS! We are currently seeking a Referee Admin. and an Asst. Field and Equipment Director.
