DIBS is the online tool that posts Dublin United Soccer League volunteer tasks and opportunities. Volunteers can see what tasks need to be done and claim that spot directly online!
IMPORTANT: By Claiming a Dib Item, you are agreeing to volunteer for that task for that duration. After you have completed the Dibs task, an admin will mark your Dib Item as completed, crediting your volunteer hour(s).
Each family is required to contribute at least 6 volunteer hours to receive their $150 volunteer deposit. In the case of multiple children in the program, only 6 hours total is required for the family (not an additional 6 hours per child). Additional volunteer hours may be required for players in our Scholarship & Financial Aid Program.
Only designated volunteer roles, and volunteer opportunities posted through DUSL website, are eligible for volunteer hour credit. Please check with your coach or program directors to ensure your work qualifies for volunteer hour(s) credit. All volunteer hours are planned, scheduled and tracked by the DUSL administrator at admin@dublinsoccer.org
To book volunteer hours and shifts:
Dublin United Soccer League is a non-profit youth soccer organization. Our Club operates on the support of volunteers and limited staff. We thank our volunteers for all that they do!
To avoid confusion and to give members time to reconcile volunteer hours, DUSL has implemented a process with specific timelines for processing volunteer deposit checks.
All requirements for volunteer deposits must be met, prior to the issuing of any volunteer check. This includes:
In 2023 we will issue volunteer deposit refund checks in 2 batches.
Batch #1 will be issued in October for all volunteers fulfilling hours from March 1 - September 30th. Members that volunteer for the St. Patrick's Day, Shamrock Academy, Tryouts, Fireworks booth, & Photo Day will be included in this batch. This is pending all requirements for volunteer hours have been fulfilled, and members meet all requirements for a refund.
Batch #2 will be issued in December. All head coaches, assistant coaches (1 per competitive team and 2 per recreational team) and team managers (1 per team) will be included in this batch. This is pending all requirements for volunteer hours have been fulfilled, and members meet all requirements for a refund.
Any dispute or inquiry for 2023/24 volunteer hours MUST BE RESOLVED by January 31st, 2024. All inquiries after that date will not be researched or deposit issued.

Parent volunteers play an impactful role on each soccer team in Dublin United Soccer League. They are role models to our players and have the added benefit of enjoying the sport of soccer with their children! Here are 5 reasons to volunteer for a role:
We understand not every parent can volunteer for a designated team role. We have plenty of other volunteer opportunities in Dublin United Soccer League to show your support and contribute to the club (and earn your volunteer hour credits) through out the year. Go to DIBS to see other volunteer opportunities and tasks that need help.
We will also welcome new project ideas for volunteering. We are always in need of additional support for marketing, sponsorships, and operational support. Contact our club admin at admin@dublinsoccer.org
