Volunteer Opportunities
Sherrills Ford Optimist is a volunteer-run organization. We don't receive money from any government agencies. To run our programs, we need volunteer help. Please see the links below for the most recent volunteer opportunities...
Concessions Volunteers
Don't worry, we're not asking you to cook! We just need folks to take orders, collect money, and give people the food they ordered. Easy-peasy! If your kid is practicing, a weeknight helping out in concessions can be a great way to fulfill your volunteer duties!
Parking Lot Volunteers
We have PLENTY of parking at SFO, but on home soccer days, the spots fill up fast, and some folks who are unfamiliar with out park need help finding the closest spot to where their child or grandchild will be playing. Below is a link to our parking attendants signup. We didn't have very many people volunteer at our last home day, but we got lots of good feedback from those who attended and how much they appreciated the help.
Soccer Parking Info
DO NOT PARK BETWEEN THE FENCE AND MOLLYS BACKBONE ROAD.
IT IS DANGEROUS AND WE WILL CALL A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE YOUR VEHICLE MOVED.
We have plenty of parking. Please see the two pictures below. The lower parking lot has great access to the U8 and U10 fields. There is a sidewalk from the lower lot to the fields.
As much as possible, reserve the main parking lot for handicap parking. There are handicap spots near the concession stand.
How to be an SFO Sponsor
Sherrills Ford Optimist is actively recruiting companies, groups, churches, and/or individuals to be sponsors for our Park.
