The Milford Shoreline Youth Football Assoc. needs
your help. As a relatively new organization we still are “filling
out” our list of volunteers. The “normal” obstacle of a “grassroots”
organization such as ours is that 5% of the members do 99% of the work
to ensure its continued success. With your help we hope to change that
perception and thus ensure that this program will continue past its
present crop of dedicated members.
If you wish to participate
in any of the below activities please contact the President
or Vice-President.
Shoreline Conference Representatives:
Due to Shoreline Conference By-Laws, this member may not be a “sitting”
member of the Milford Shoreline Youth Football Association Executive
Board and / or it’s Officers. The Shoreline Conference meets 10
months of the year, skipping November and December, where they
discuss both policies and activities related to the Conference as a
whole. At this time the Conference has allowed us to use “sitting”
officers due to our status as the newest member of the Conference.
We would like to see 2 individuals in this position, a
Representative as well as an Alternate.
Duties are to attend the monthly (bi-weekly during August through
October) Shoreline Conference meeting and report to the Executive
Board on rulings, pending changes, and other business. This will
account of 2 nights a month, 3 nights in August through October, and
approximately 2 hours each night. Please check the Calendar for
meeting times and locations for both events.

Coaching Assistant:
Although we have an able, dedicated, and experienced coaching
staff we would like to involve more parents in this area. Our goal
is to teach all our participants the fundamentals of football. The
best way to do this is to strive for the smallest group of players
given to a single Coach. Specifically we are looking for parents to
help run “drills” and other related exercises during normal
practice sessions. Our main Coaching staff will oversee all players
and Assistants insuring the safety of our players. We strive to
maintain 3 “Head Coaches” per division and we would like to see
2 “Assistants” per division for practice.
Duties are varied and may or may not, at our Head Coaches option,
include “game day” participation. Normal participation is during
normal game / practice hours.

Refreshments Group:
This is a simple way to help provide for the future of our
program. In the past this has fallen on just 3 of our parents and to
say they are “over worked” is an understatement. We are striving for enough
participation to make it possible for no one to “work” more then
a single Half during any game. We would also like to make it
possible to avoid the need to have people working during their
Childs game. Time involved is 1 to 2 hours set-up and break down, in addition
to a single game lasting from 1-1/2 to 2 hours. 3 Game days can last
from 9:00 AM until 5:00 PM. So you can see the need to have a large group of
participants.
Duties will include set-up, preparation, break down and selling of “refreshments” during
normal Home game hours.

Banquet Committee:
With the normal growth of the football program and the addition
of our cheerleaders this year, it has become imperative that we now
form a committee early. With some 160+ children and their parents we
have a need for a more extensive search for a facility.
Duties will include the planning and implementation of our
year-end Banquet within the provided budget. This entails working
with the Executive board as well as other members of the committee.

The Annual Milford Oyster Festival
This year we would like to continue our efforts in educating and
recruitment of Milford residents. We feel that the Annual Milford Oyster Festival will allow us to reach a
significant portion of that population.
This is a long-term
recruitment tool as we may not be able to accept new registrations
at this function. Even so, we feel it will help us in our
recruitment drive for the 2005 season and beyond.
Duties
will include set-up, operation and planning for this one-day event.
Providing a plan of action to the Executive board, possibly working
with the Refreshments group, Odd Jobbers and any other actions
needed.
Back
Prep Rally Committee
With the growth of our Association we feel it would serve us
better to provide more activities that will allow social interaction
among our players and families. To that end it is our hope to
provide some purely social activities through this committee.
Duties will include the planning, implementation and running of
approved activities throughout the season. The main focus will be a
pre-season rally to introduce our players.
Back
Odd Jobbers:
There is always a host of other issues that need to be addressed
during the year. From simple field maintenance to making phone calls
on behalf of the Association.
Duties
are varied and can cut across multiple spheres.
