President’s Corner: CFCA Programs Under Pressure

For over 50 years the CFCA has been focused on providing sports and other programs for the youth of our area. A hallmark of the CFCA has always been it’s volunteers. We have always been a volunteer organization, with everyone from the board of directors to the assistant coaches giving of their time and talents supporting the programs that benefit of our regions children.

Recently, we have seen a marked decline in volunteerism across all of our programs. While our participation numbers remain at relatively the same level year-to-year, each season it is harder and harder to find the number of coaches and other volunteers we need. Sport commissioners and coaches, who already handle the primary workload of planning and organizing programs, end up doing many other tasks as well, such as fundraising, concession stands, etc.. There are always many jobs that need to be done, please consider what you can do as a volunteer. Your contributions are needed, and will keep our programs going.

Thank you to Spring Sports Volunteers!

Spring is always a challenging season for the CFCA, with the uncertainty of our weather combined with the largest number of programs we run in a season. We couldn't do it without the tremendous efforts of our program commissioners, coaches, and other volunteers that make each sport happen. Special thanks go to the following sports commissioners: Baseball: Joe Gonzales, Softball: Pennie Merrick, Boys Lacrosse: Michelle and Joe Yahner, Girls Lacrosse: Chelsey Hall, and Tee-Ball: Joel Cacialli. Thank you too to all the volunteer coaches, officials, and team managers for all your efforts, the CFCA appreciates you!!
