GET INVOLVED WITH DYS
GREAT CLUBS
START WITH GREAT PEOPLE.
Behind every team, every game, and every unforgettable moment is a community of volunteers making it all possible.
Join us in creating meaningful soccer experiences for kids throughout the Donegal community.
OUR COMMUNITY MAKES IT POSSIBLE.
Donegal Youth Soccer is more than a place for kids to play soccer. It’s a community built by families, coaches, and volunteers who believe in giving young players the opportunity to learn, grow, and belong.
As a volunteer-run organization, we depend on people willing to share their time and talents to keep our programs running, our fields ready, and our players supported.
Every contribution matters. Whether you’re coaching a team, helping organize a season, or lending a hand behind the scenes, you’re making a difference in the experience of every DYS player.
You don’t have to know everything about soccer to make an impact. You just have to care about our kids and our community.

Some of the most important people in a young player’s soccer experience are the coaches who encourage them, challenge them, and help them believe in themselves.
At DYS, our volunteer coaches play an essential role in creating positive experiences that extend well beyond the field.
Whether you’re an experienced coach or interested in coaching for the first time, we welcome people who share our commitment to player development, sportsmanship, and making soccer fun.
