Valley United Soccer Club

Valley United's mission is to have a competitively-priced program.  To fulfill that mission, we depend on volunteers to run the club and to coach most teams.  If you would like to help, please contact any Board Member if you are interested or have questions about how you can get involved.

Our club has a Board of Directors that meets monthly to plan activities, monitor expenses and fundraising, and to set policies. Board members are appointed for two-year terms. All positions commence in September, with the exception of the Club President, whose term begins in November. Positions come up for appointment in either odd or even years, as shown below.  To learn more, go to the Board of Directors contact page and then speak directly to the incumbent director.  To volunteer for one of these positions, please call the club president (Jim Friedel 612.868.2005).
