We need parent volunteers in many capacities. A knowledge of soccer is not crucial to playing a role with NPRS
Get involved
New Paltz Recreation Soccer is a volunteer-run organization. Our volunteers coach our teams, serve on our board, and serve on our fields, equipment and opening day committees. We couldn't offer our program without you! Thank you in advance for volunteering your time, energy, and enthusiasm to the youth of our community.
Volunteer interest can be selected during the registration process for your child(ren) for a particular season, OR,

New Paltz Recreation Soccer Board
Our board has four positions: president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer. During periods of transition, we have co-officers to allow incoming members to collaborate and learn from the outgoing member. If you're interested in getting involved, please email newpaltzrecsoccer@gmail.com.
Field/Equipment Committees
We need volunteers to help establish and line fields throughout each season. We also need volunteers to help prepare, distribute and collect equipment. Our shed also needs to remain organized. Can you help?
Opening Day Committee
On opening day we need volunteers to help with equipment and uniform distribution, pictures and the equipment swap. Can you help?
Coaching
Volunteer coaches will be asked to:
- Attend and coach scheduled games on Saturday mornings/early afternoons for 8 weeks total
- For B and C Division, coaches will need to coordinate and/or lead 1 week night practice per week on pre-determined evenings throughout the season (practice plans can be provided)
- Collaborate and communicate with other coach(es)
- Have fun
There will be a coaches meeting in early September and early April to ensure that all coaches are ready to begin the season.
Please note: NPRS can accommodate only as many teams as we have volunteer coaches for; players will be added to teams on a first-come/first-served basis. We prefer to have two volunteers per team so no one individual absolutely has to be present for every game and practice.
PARENTS AND ATHLETES
Parents and athletes need to manage their SportsEngine accounts to ensure they get the most out of their New Paltz Recreation Soccer experience during each sporting season. With their accounts properly configured, athletes and their families will receive communications according to their preferences and be able to complete registrations more efficiently. SportsEngine has created a Team Management Guide for Parents and Athletes that will help our members with frequently asked questions about our website and mobile app.
Here is your quick start guide to creating an account and using the SportsEngine platform as an athlete or parent.
STAY CONNECTED TO YOUR TEAM
Keep connected to your team(s). Get schedules and team updates for every athlete in the house, plus a way to message other members on your team and a way to give coaches a heads up about practice. Enjoy unlimited access to scores & stats, photo/video sharing, and more.
ESSENTIAL PARENT HOW-TO'S
In many instances, more than one parent or guardian needs to be in the loop with a child's sports life. Using the mobile app, you can add additional guardians to an account. Guardians can 1) View games and events 2) RSVP to games and events 3) Send and receive messages to coaches and team members 4) participate in team chat
Once you've created your account, add your mobile phone so you can receive text messages from your team manager or coach.
Now that you have your mobile phone on your account, make sure you enable text messaging and any other notifications.
Following a Team on the SportsEngine Mobile App
Are you a family friend, grandparent or fan that wants to follow a specific team on the SportsEngine platform? Here is a quick guide to follow teams on the mobile app.
