Volunteer Participation

Our football club relies completely on parent/guardian and family participation in order to realize a fun and successful season. It is an expectation of registration that each players parent/guardian(s) and/or family will assist in some capacity during the season by volunteering for duties at games or community events.  

There are many areas where volunteers are needed throughout the football season. Coaches, team managers, equipment managers, first-aiders (aka. “trainers”) are all volunteer positions. Game day volunteers are also required to help with sideline duties, time keeping, announcing, videography, field setup and other operational tasks. Previous experience in any of these areas is not necessary. 

Fee Assistance Options

SAMFA is committed to allowing all players who want to play football a chance to play. If you feel you are unable to pay our fees, please email the Registrar prior to registration to discuss payment plan options.
