Q. I am a parent, how can I help the NSC?
A. NSC is always looking for volunteers. It takes a lot of time and energy to keep the club running - we usually need help in the Spring to clean up the fields and set up all the soccer nets. etc. The same would be true in the Fall we would need help taking all equipment down.

You can also approach your players coach as they are often looking for help with the team. They often need help with the paperwork, communication and fundraising.
