If for any reason providing a snack presents a hardship for you, please do not feel obliged to participate. Our Snack Coordinator, Stacey Holmes, can be contacted at 613-806-2605 or [email protected] with any questions or concerns.
UNIFORM & BALL PICKUP
Uniforms and balls can be picked up under the covered pavilion beside the TACA Community Building at our home field at 50 Bellman Drive between 5:30 and 6:30pm (just before practice) for the first several weeks of the season.
If you have any issues with uniforms, please contact our Uniform Coordinator, Barb O'Connor, at 613-850-7627 or at [email protected]
SPECIAL REQUESTS
If your player requires and/or prefers a certain volunteer or has specific needs that will necessitate a volunteer with a particular skill set (ie. strong, physically fit, French speaking, etc.), please email myself ([email protected]) and our Volunteer Coordinators, Eleanor Norman ([email protected]) and Marianne Mallen ([email protected]), so accommodations can be made.
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR PARENTS/GUARDIANS
Parents/guardians are responsible for their players and are required to remain at the field during JFK practices. Volunteers assist in making activities accessible and fun but they are neither specially trained nor vetted. If your player requires a trained care worker, families are welcome to provide their own support worker.
Players will be returned to their parents/guardians during snack time and for bathroom breaks. Please instruct volunteers on the best approaches to use with your player. If, at any time, you have a concern or would prefer a different volunteer for your player, please approach Shannon or the Volunteer Coordinators, Eleanor and Marianne.
We strive to provide a 1:1 volunteer to player ratio but this is not guaranteed. If we are short of volunteers at a practice, parents, guardians, or family members will be asked to partner with their player.
Please note that we do not play in the rain. For updates on everything JFK related, including weather cancellations, follow us on on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/justforkicksOCSC
