We can only field as many teams as we have coaches, team parents, referees and administrators,

so please consider volunteeringyourtime to assist with a team this Spring.

We need volunteers to support all parts of the program; in particular Coaches and Team Parents.

Please volunteeron-line using the same procedure that you did for your child – there is no fee. (Make sure you click on the Volunteer Tab instead of the Registration Tab)

Rose Tree Soccer Club policy requires all intramural coaches to provide an updated background check through EPYSA’s Risk Management Program every year. Once you are selected to coach a team we will provide you with a link to submit your background check. We believe that this program provides reasonable precautions so the Rose Tree Soccer Club can continue to provide a quality and safe experience for the children of our community.

Parking is a LIMITED at Cherry Street – Please park in the parking lot, not on any grass surface, observe all parking and speed limit regulations, and be courteous to our neighborhood families.
