What is the Volunteer Commitment and how does the Volunteer Bond work?

$400 Bond will be filled out at the time of Registration. $200 for Indoor Season Volunteering and $200 for Outdoor Season Volunteering. Bonds will only be processed if volunteer commitments are not fulfilled. 4 hours of volunteering is required per player (2 hours per season).

There is an option to buy out of volunteering by paying $150 of the $200 total bond per season. Please contact treasurer@leducsoccer.ca to arrange the Volunteer Buy-Out.

A Volunteer Bond will be collected at the time of Registration, and will only be cashed if the Volunteer Commitment is not fulfilled.

When will I know the nights of play and my child’s schedule?

Best to ensure the same night of play is used each season per age group. The following factors affect scheduling:

  • Number of registrations
  • League schedule as defined by the various leagues our teams participate in
  • Number of hours available for facility rental (Indoor season)
  • Tiering of teams

Email communication will be sent out prior to the start (roughly two weeks) of the season with a schedule.

When will I hear from my coach?

As soon as registration has closed, the program directors will work to arrange teams and coaches. When this is complete, you will receive communication from your program director or coach.

If you are concerned you may have missed communication, please email Jordan Jeffery, Technical Director, at Technical@blackgoldfc.ca.

All teams will use TeamLinkt to communicate and post team schedules.
