The Wilmington Lions United is a 100% volunteer organization!
The Lions would not exist without our dedicated volunteers on and off the field.
We genuinely need and appreciate YOU and all that YOU do!
A few volunteer roles and responsibilities are listed here:
Head & Assistant Coaches: Each football team prefers to have at least three coaches and cheer needs at least two. This position makes a direct, lasting impact on our athletes. The time commitment typically includes practice three evenings a week and games on Saturdays. One assistant is also responsible for play counts during games. Coaches must complete an application, background check, and a few education/certification requirements.
Team Parent: This is a team support role that allows our coaches to coach and worry less about the administrative duties. The team parent helps with communicating to other parents, coordinating snack sign ups, organizing an end of season gift for the coaches, and provide support to coaching staff. This is a great way to be involved and give your time to the program.
Fundraising Support: The costs associated with football and cheer add up quickly and we are ALWAYS looking for opportunities to fundraise. We want to provide optimal equipment, uniforms, and experiences for our teams, but it comes with great cost. If you are creative and have some good ideas, reach out to us!
Home Game Help: A lot goes into home games! We need assistance setting up, collecting gate entrance fees, moving chains, selling merchandise, cleaning up, etc. We can't make these exciting days happen without the support of our families. If you can give even just an hour, we'd appreciate it! If you are interested in being more involved in home game help, please contact us.
Equipment Manager: Equipment distribution and collection is vital to the safety of our athletes. The equipment manager is responsible for distribution and collection and equipment and uniforms. This is another great way to give a bit of your time without a huge commitment.
