Will you volunteer for an easy job?

We need a few volunteers on the team to serve as official chaperones - to my knowledge, it involves no work.

Let me explain.  CCSL has gained access to the Marine Barracks field, which is located on federal land at 5th & K Street, SE near the Navy Yards.  It's a nice artificial field that is metro accessible (Capitol South, Eastern Market, Navy Yards).  Check out the location.  I sometimes play pick up there during the week with some Navy guys - hey it's a fringe benefit of working for the fed.

In order to play at the field, each team needs to designate a contact to act as the team's chaperone.  The person must undergo a light background check.  Pete, Nate, and Jackie are going to do it.  We could use a few more, since we won't be allowed to play unless a chaperone is present - just want to cover our bases.  

I have the necessary forms.  Let me know by email if you are interested in helping.

See the commish's email below for further explanation.

Subject: Forms for Marine Barracks Volunteer Application

All,

 

Per my note, we are on the verge of getting access to the Marine Barracks field and will need everyone to get volunteer status.

 

To address some questions that came about after my previous email

 

- by being the "volunteer" this doesnt mean that you are now like a ref and have to chaperone other games

- you will be able to play and be the volunteer at the same time

- the application will involve a cursory background check but I cant really speak to what that involves.

- you can have as many or as few people on your team do this, but if nobody on your team does, you wont be able to use the field.

- no you wont be called upon by DCPR to do other volunteer work (unless you want to )

 

So in filling out the form, a few pointers

 

• In the section "Position Information", select Athletics and "Coach Soccer"
• For the question of "where would you like to volunteer" put in "Marine Barracks Ballfield"
• For the question of "preferred Schedule" put "In support of Capital Coed Soccer League (CCSL) games on Sundays"

Once the forms are complete, you will need to send to the attention of Melissa McKnight at DC gov.  You can either fax or email the completed forms to her at melissa.mcknight@dc.gov or 202.671.1891 respectively.

 

Please try and complete these as soon as possible as I think the process takes some time.  A quick response will also show DCPR that we are serious about this and can help to move permitting along.  No need to copy me on the application as there is personal information requested, but please do let me know if/when you do submit it.

 

It would be great to get on this metro accessible turf field, so your cooperation is much appreciated.

 

Please ping me with any questions.

 

thanks!
