Volunteer Policy:

All Parents are required to offer their time and help in ensuring the League can operate in a manner designed to provide the most fun, learning, and enjoyment to all players and parents.  Therefore,  a fee of $110.00 will be charged to all players who parents are not able to offer their time.  These monies will go towards hiring support staff to complete jobs left open to ensure that no single parent is overloaded with work.  

All players will have this $110.00 fee charged at the time of registration.  

Within one week of your signing up for a Volunteer Position your credit account will be refunded the $110.00 fees.
