Every fall, many high school teams look for help in the form of ball boys and ball girls ... collecting
out-of-bound balls to keep things moving during the game. Most HS's will:
- provide free admission for the player
- provide a complimentary treat from the concession stand at halftime
- announce the players' names over the stadium public address system
- some schools have small sided game or shots on goal at halftime
It's a lot of fun! Plus it's a great opportunity for younger players to see soccer
played at that level - and up close. It can be a great team function too ... something a little different during the
fall outdoor season.
If you have an interest, please talk to your coach about some or all of your team participating. A
group of 4-6 players is typical. If you are unable to get enough players from your own team, then by all means be creative
and gather some other soccer friends.
If your son/daughter is U5 or younger, please be sure to disclose that to the high school coordinator.
There may be a minimum age to participate.
The list below is incomplete as many high schools have not yet filled that volunteer position.
If your school is missing, please send that info to coylejeff@aol.com to update this list.
Good luck to all Eagles playing for their high school soccer team!
