BCA Kinder Soccer - Coordinator

Needed!!

As our Youth Activities Coordinator position is currently

vacant, we are looking for volunteers to coordinate Kinder

Soccer this spring. This program is open to children born

in 2015 or 2016 and provides an early introduction to the

sport of soccer. We will not be able to offer this program

without your help. Please contact us at

briarwoodca@gmail.com

as soon as possible if you

are interested and we will

provide further

information.

Outdoor Rink Reminder

Just a reminder to residents that as the weather warms up

please watch for notices regarding closure of our outdoor rink

in Briarwood Park. As soon as the ice starts melting we will

need to close the rink as the rink liner will become exposed

and could be damaged. We cannot remove the liner and rink

boards until all ice has melted and ground starts to thaw so

we kindly ask that residents stay off the rink once it is closed.

We will also post signage at the rink advising the same. Thank

you for your assistance and we hope

you enjoyed this venue!!

BCA Board Open Positions

Please see below some additional information for the current open positions on the BCA Board of Directors:

Vice President:

The planned structure of the board is that a person will serve as Vice-President for one year, then President the following year

and finally as Past President for the 3rd year after which that person can choose to leave the board or remain in another capaci-

ty. Currently we have only a Past President who has been in this position since 2014. The main responsibility of this position is to

become familiar with the organization bylaws, fiduciary responsibilities and gain experience in chairing board meetings as well

as providing overall direction to the board. This position would be of interest to someone wanting to acquire or enhance their

management skills while working with a very experienced and engaged Board of Directors.

Youth Activities Coordinator:

In the past BCA offered both kinder and youth soccer (outdoor and indoor). However, due to this position being vacant for some

time we have only offered spring kinder soccer in the past year. Working with other parent volunteers, the responsibilities of

this position include coordinating registration, team assignments and scheduling, coaching recruitment, equipment and uni-

forms. The coordinator also works to establish new activities and programs for youth.

Adult Program Coordinator:

BCA offers a number of indoor fitness programs for adults including Yoga, Sculpt and Stretch, Butts n’ Guts and Tai Chi. We are

in need of a coordinator to be responsible for managing the programs and registration, liaison with instructors, and establishing

new activities and fitness programming of interest to the community.

Director at Large:

The current board structure allows for up to six Directors-at-large. As the title suggests, these members do not have specific

board duties but are available to assist as required. This is an excellent role for residents who want to be involved in board

meetings and decision making but are not able to commit to a specific role.
