Hello Club Families,
We are so excited for our 2021-2022 season to begin!! Off the bat we have our largest fundraiser for our club just 3 weeks into our season on August 27, 28 and 29th, Soccerfest! Please put this date in your calendar. We need our club families support to run a smooth tournament. The tournament is held at Olympic Park, Atcher Park, and Connelly Park.
Our board is made up of all volunteers. SAA does have paid staff that work in and out of the SAA office, however no one can sit on a board that is paid staff for SAA. Here is a list that of our board members and their roles.
Angel Phelps - Head Commissioner
Maria Gibson - Assistant Head Commissioner

Volunteer Opportunities
We provide opportunities for high school students to earn volunteer opportunities that the schools require to graduate or to earn hours for the Harper promise. Contact jose@scusoccer.com for more information.
United Parents
The club needs a volunteer from each team to help bridge communication and activities between our board and coaches to our team families and vice versa. A United Parent member would attend a monthly 30 minute meeting at SAA House on the 2nd Tuesday of each month. Examples of responsibilities include printing out game cards for each match, gathering information from families for scheduling purposes, or sharing information provided by a coach or board member.
I look forward to the new season ahead of us.
Angel Phelps
