Our volunteers make it happen!

Activities

Volunteers play fundamental roles in the facilitation of activities and are the reason that a vast selection of opportunities can be offered to tournament participants. Possible duties include, but are not limited to, staffing the tournament Information Booth, assisting with athlete dances and VIP/Coach parties, and staffing off-site trips to the wave pool, Twins game, and bowling alley. Chaperones for dances and off-site activities must be 21 years of age or older.

Award Ceremonies

Present winning teams with trophies/medals after completion of championship games.

Airport Greeters

As Minnesota 's largest tourism event we want to welcome our guests properly. Volunteers meet the teams and referees at the airport and assist them with tournament information and connect them to the Schwan's USA CUP transportation. Lots of walking so great opportunity to get exercise!

Bicycle Corps

Youth ages 11-16 ride their bicycles to collect game cards from field manager tents and deliver them to the scoring office.

Field Managers

Field managers are the lifeblood of the tournament! As a field manager, you're the first point of contact and information for tournament attendees and referees. You're stationed at a field manager tent in the middle of the action and you get to watch from one to four fields of soccer games at a time. You help games get started on time, answer questions from curious parents and players, make tournament headquarters aware of game start times and any problems on the field, summon medical personnel if needed, and assist the referees stationed at your tent. If you like meeting new people and watching soccer, this is the place for you.

Field Medical

Certified first responders, EMTs, paramedics or athletic trainers are stationed at field manager tents or on one of seven specially modified medical carts to provide emergency care and, if necessary, transport to on-site medical facility. Medical supplies and radios provided. Review on use of cervical collars, backboarding and automated defibrillation provided at orientation prior to the tournament for all new volunteers.

Gift Packing

Wednesday, July 8, 5 pm. Location: Schwan Super Rink, west side of the new building, white garage door W. Park in the C Fields Parking Lot.  Need 100+ volunteers to make the world's largest assembly line packing 17,000 gift bags for participants! Dinner provided.
