PLAYERS
AND VOLUNTEERS
Player registration totals, both recreational and
competitive, average nearly 6,000 per season. That is approximately 5%
of Wyoming’s youth aged 5 to 18. WyoSoccer also has over 400 registered,
volunteer coaches. Volunteers are the backbone of youth soccer; the WyoSoccer
board, member associations, coaches and other “support staff” consist
almost entirely of volunteers.
