Just a Few Hours of Your Time? National Soccer July 20-25, 2010

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 03:30:00 GMT

The Mount Pearl Soccer Association, in partnership with the St. John’s Soccer Association, has been selected to co-host some of the best soccer players in the country as provincial All-star teams from across Canada will hold their National Championships here in the Girls Under 14 and Girls Under 16 age divisions. The competition is scheduled for July 20th-25th and Mount Pearl.

Then from October 6th-11th, the MPSA as the official host, again with the St. John’s Soccer Association as a partner, will host the Boys and Girls Under 18 National Club Championships. The Boys Division will have a total of 12 teams (an official representative and an official host team will represent NL) while the Girls Division will have a total of 10 teams, with just an official representative team from this province.

As can be appreciated it will take many volunteers to run these tournaments in the standard we have done in the past. Volunteers will be needed in a variety of areas including:

- security,

- gate and canteen workers,

- hospitality

- field marshalls and supervisory workers, etc.

If you are interested in volunteering just a couple of hours during these events, please register your name by calling the Clubhouse at 364-9793 or emailing us at soccer@mpsa.ca.
