More information on the board of directors is available at ESC's Web site. As a not-for-profit organization, ESC is dependent upon volunteers such as you. ESC needs your help with fund raising, concession stands, and tournaments. Each season, ESC employs new coaches and hosts several referee-training clinics.

Please volunteer by contacting the ESC Interim GM, Parris Sanders at gm@edmondsoccer.com.
 
Where do I find out if games are cancelled because of rain? Check the ESC Web site www.edmondsoccer.com  for up to date weather closure information.  You may enter your cell phone number on the ‘e-status’ link to have closure texts sent directly to your phone. The club hotline, 348-BALL, will also have closure information. Coaches may verify game schedules and contact you on game day. Once the decision to close the complex due to inclimate weather, e-status text messages are sent, online field status is posted,  and the ESC hotline carries this information to keep you advised.
 
Who takes team photos? Moto Photo is a sponsor of the Edmond Soccer Club. Moto Photo will schedule dates and times for taking team pictures. Coaches will be provided with the dates. All team photos taken at the ESC complex must be taken in the designated area. You may use a photographer of your choosing, but you must contact the Club to reserve the photo area. Commercial photographers are allowed to operate only in the photo area, not on the playing fields or the common areas.

Is additional training for players available through ESC? ESC's Centers of Excellence are designed to enhance the skills of the individual player.

Information forms are available at registration and at the ESC Web site, www.edmondsoccer.com, or by contacting the Director of Technical Development.
