FSA is powered by volunteers — passionate individuals who help create an exceptional experience for our athletes and families. Without your support, our association simply couldn’t operate. Whether you have a few hours or can commit to a season-long role, your contribution makes a difference. Please consider how you can contribute. Ideally each FSA family contributes in some way. The more volunteers we have, the better the programming and events we can offer. Please connect directly with your Head Coach for volunteer opportunities on your team, and with fundraising@fastballstalbert.ca or tournaments@fastballstalbert.ca for FSA opportunities.
