Austin FC Volunteers
☀️ Summer swim season is right around the corner — and we need YOU to help keep Armada going strong!
Fundraising plays a huge role in what makes our team awesome. It allows us to:
- Keep registration the lowest in the league 💸
- Offer scholarships to families who need them 🤝
- Invest in our swimmers and facilities 🏊♀️
One of our biggest fundraisers is working concessions at Austin FC home games, where Armada is an official fundraising partner. When our families volunteer, Armada earns 10% of booth revenue plus tips — and last year we raised over $9,000! 🙌
⚽ Why volunteer at Austin FC games?
✅ Make new friends with fellow Armada parents
✅ Free parking + shuttle for volunteers
✅ Free lunch at check-in 🍴
✅ Free Austin FC hat + Q2 shirt 🎁
✅ Earn a $50 credit toward your family’s fundraising goal
✅ Volunteer opportunities from April to October
"It’s a fun and easy way to support the team! Parking was a breeze, the vibe was great, and we made awesome connections with other Armada families."

"It’s the key to keeping registration low and covering essentials like pool time and equipment."
– Deanna Johnson
