As a nonprofit, all-volunteer organization, TJSL is dependent on our participating families to fill critical roles for our League to operate.  The League Membership Fee paid by all Rec Soccer families (only one fee per family), covers expenses incurred by TJSL to supplement our volunteer needs for the Rec Soccer program. 

The $75 fee is refunded at the end of the season if a family member volunteers for a team. Coaches manage the team, run the games and conduct at least one practice each week and Assistants to a Youth Coach help manage a team while a Youth Coach leads practices and games. If you would like to volunteer, see the Volunteer Roles Page above. 

League Membership Fees fund TJSL’s college scholarship program that provides awards to high school students that volunteer with TJSL throughout the year.
